Major tech firms are accelerating workforce reductions in 2026 to fund AI infrastructure investments and boost efficiency through automation, driving year-to-date layoffs well above 2025 levels across trackers like Layoffs.fyi and TrueUp. Companies including Meta, Oracle, Amazon, Intuit, and Coinbase have announced cuts totaling tens of thousands, often explicitly tied to AI adoption and restructuring, with April and May seeing particularly sharp monthly figures. This momentum has produced the highest quarterly totals since 2023, reinforcing trader consensus that full-year 2026 numbers will exceed the prior benchmark. Key upcoming catalysts include further earnings reports and potential additional announcements from large platforms reallocating headcount toward AI capabilities.

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.
