Major technology companies are accelerating workforce reductions in 2026 to fund artificial intelligence initiatives, with year-to-date tech layoffs already reaching 85,000–113,000 through early May—up 33% from the same period in 2025 and on pace to surpass last year’s roughly 127,000 total. Recent catalysts include Meta’s planned 10% cut of 8,000 roles, Cisco’s elimination of nearly 4,000 positions to reallocate spending toward AI and cybersecurity, Cloudflare’s 20% workforce reduction citing AI-driven obsolescence, and similar moves at Coinbase, PayPal, and General Motors’ IT division. Challenger, Gray & Christmas data show AI cited as the top reason for cuts across sectors, reflecting a broader shift where large language models and automation enable leaner operations while overall corporate layoffs decline. Traders appear to view sustained AI investment cycles and efficiency gains as locking in higher 2026 totals absent major reversals in capital allocation.

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.
