Major technology firms are accelerating workforce reductions in 2026 as they prioritize artificial intelligence investments and operational efficiency, pushing trader consensus toward more layoffs than in 2025. Recent tallies show roughly 1,000 tech jobs cut daily so far this year, outpacing 2025 rates, with Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle citing AI automation as a key driver for restructuring roles in software development and support functions. Surveys of U.S. hiring managers indicate that over half anticipate further cuts, and 44% specifically link them to large language model adoption replacing repetitive tasks. This momentum, combined with ongoing capital reallocation toward AI infrastructure, underpins the strong market-implied odds for an increase.

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.
