2026 Tech Layoff Tracker

LayoffTrends tracks workforce reductions across all major industries in real time. We aggregate verified WARN Act filings from the US Department of Labor, corporate press releases, and SEC disclosures to give workers an accurate picture of the 2026 job market. Over 218,400 jobs have been eliminated so far this year, with technology sector layoffs accounting for the largest share.

WARN Act Filings & Layoff Data

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires US employers with 100 or more employees to provide 60 days notice before mass layoffs or plant closings. We monitor all federal WARN filings daily and cross-reference them with corporate announcements from companies including Intel, Tesla, Cisco, Meta, Amazon, Citigroup, Spotify, and hundreds more.
