Trader consensus pricing "Up" at 73.5% for tech layoffs in 2026 hinges on accelerating AI-driven efficiencies and macroeconomic caution, with over 140,000 job cuts tracked in 2024 and another 60,000+ in early 2025 per Layoffs.fyi. Big Tech firms like Intel (15,000 cuts announced May 2025), Microsoft, and Cisco are slashing headcounts to fund massive AI capex—$100B+ industry-wide—prioritizing automation over expansion amid cooling VC funding ($70B in H1 2025 vs. $120B prior peaks) and lingering inflation pressures. Challenger Gray reports signal sustained elevated activity into 2026, outstripping hires; watch Q3 earnings and Fed rate decisions as pivotal catalysts for further repricing.

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.
The resolution source reports the values as whole numbers (thousands of persons). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
