Trader consensus on Polymarket assigns a 91.5% implied probability to tech layoffs rising in 2026 versus 2025, fueled by Q1's unprecedented 78,000–92,000 job cuts across 230+ events—already surpassing many prior quarters—as tracked by Layoffs.fyi and TrueUp. Major drivers include AI-driven automation at firms like Oracle (30,000 cuts), Amazon (16,000), and Meta, enabling workforce restructuring amid massive investments in AI infrastructure despite strong revenues. Nearly half of cuts explicitly tie to AI efficiencies, per reports, with daily averages hitting 900+. This pace projects annual totals well above 2025's ~165,000–250,000. Challenges could arise from unexpected economic booms spurring hiring or regulatory curbs on AI deployment, though traders see slim odds amid ongoing cost pressures and no hiring rebound signals.

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.
