Major tech firms are accelerating AI-driven restructuring and cost cuts, pushing 2026 layoffs well ahead of 2025's pace and supporting the 89.5% market-implied odds for an increase. Trackers show over 100,000 tech jobs eliminated in the first five months of 2026 alone—already rivaling or exceeding full-year 2025 totals in several datasets—with Q1 figures up sharply year-over-year and AI explicitly cited in announcements from Meta, Cisco, Intuit, and others. Surveys of hiring managers indicate 55% expect further reductions this year, with automation replacing roles as the leading factor amid ongoing efficiency drives and macroeconomic pressures.

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.
