Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects a razor-thin 50% implied probability for tech layoffs rising in 2026, driven by conflicting signals: 2025's sharp slowdown in cuts—down over 70% from 2024 peaks per Layoffs.fyi—clashing with persistent AI-driven efficiencies at giants like Google and Meta, where headcount reductions continue amid restructuring. Balancing bullish hiring in AI and cloud sectors against recession risks and overcapacity corrections, sentiment hinges on economic stabilization. Key tipping points include Q4 2025 earnings calls from FAANG firms revealing workforce plans, Federal Reserve rate decisions in early 2026, and fresh layoff announcements that could signal renewed belt-tightening or full recovery.

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.
