Tech layoffs in 2026 have already exceeded 2025’s full-year total of roughly 123,000 roles, with trackers like Layoffs.fyi reporting over 123,000 cuts across hundreds of firms by early September and broader estimates reaching 170,000+. Artificial intelligence drives the consensus, as companies including Oracle, Meta, Amazon, Dell, and Microsoft cite AI automation, efficiency gains, and reallocation of budgets toward model development and data-center infrastructure to justify reductions. This restructuring—often framed as creating “AI-native” operations—has produced faster monthly paces than 2025, including a record May, while firms simultaneously announce multi-billion-dollar AI capex plans. With four months remaining and no slowdown signaled, trader sentiment heavily favors an “up” outcome.

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.
