Tech layoffs in 2026 have already risen 33 percent year-to-date versus 2025, reaching over 85,000 cuts through April, driven primarily by AI-led restructuring at firms including Meta, Oracle, Amazon, and Cloudflare. Companies are reallocating resources from traditional engineering and support roles toward large-scale AI infrastructure and automation, flattening management layers and replacing repetitive tasks with machine learning systems. This pattern persists even as overall U.S. layoffs decline, reflecting targeted efficiency moves rather than broad economic weakness. With additional announcements expected around mid-May earnings and Meta’s planned reductions, traders see sustained upward pressure on the annual total, though a sharp economic rebound or accelerated AI hiring could moderate the trend.

This market will resolve to "Up" if, according to Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), there are more layoffs in the information sector in 2026 than in 2025 (447,000 layoffs).
This market will resolve to "Down" if there are more layoffs in the information sector in 2025 than in 2026.
This market will resolve to 50-50 if the totals are the same in 2025 and 2026.
If not all relevant data points are published by June 30, 2027, ET, data published up until this point will be used to determine the 2026 total.
Revisions to previous data points after all relevant data points have been released will not be considered.
This market's resolution source will be the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), specifically the monthly 'Layoffs and Discharges: Information' within the Job Openings and Labor Turnover (Not Seasonally Adjusted) (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/JTU5100LDL).
Changes in the methodology by which the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports data will have no bearing on the resolution of this market.
