Tech companies are accelerating workforce reductions in 2026 as artificial intelligence tools automate routine tasks and improve operational efficiency, prompting major firms like Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft to redirect spending toward AI infrastructure while trimming headcount. Recent reports show tech layoffs already exceeding 100,000 by mid-May, with a 33% increase over the same period in 2025 and the highest quarterly totals since 2023. This surge stems from ongoing AI adoption that lets organizations achieve more with fewer employees, alongside lingering macroeconomic pressures. Upcoming earnings calls and developer conferences could reinforce these trends if further efficiency gains are highlighted, sustaining trader consensus around elevated layoff volumes for the full 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.
