Tech companies have accelerated workforce reductions in 2026, with trackers reporting 150,000–185,000 layoffs year-to-date through mid-June—already surpassing or matching full-year 2025 totals at a faster pace. The dominant driver remains large language model adoption and automation initiatives, as firms redirect spending toward AI infrastructure while trimming non-core roles in engineering, support, and operations. Recent announcements from Meta, Amazon, and others underscore this efficiency focus amid strong revenue growth. While sustained high layoff velocity supports the 91% market-implied probability for an increase over 2025, a sharp economic rebound or slower-than-expected AI productivity gains could moderate the trend in the second half of the year.

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.
