Major tech firms are accelerating workforce reductions in 2026 to fund aggressive artificial intelligence investments and deploy automation that replaces routine roles. Early-year data already shows over 100,000 tech layoffs through mid-May, with Q1 alone exceeding prior quarterly peaks and major cuts announced at Amazon, Meta, Cisco, Oracle, and Intuit explicitly tied to AI shifts. Surveys indicate 55 percent of U.S. hiring managers anticipate further layoffs this year, with 44 percent citing AI as the leading driver, while companies redirect billions toward large language model infrastructure and efficiency gains. These confirmed trends and ongoing restructuring have produced the market-implied 86 percent probability that total tech layoffs will finish higher than in 2025.

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.
