Graphic by me, created in Excel.

All data from here: https://www.challengergray.com/blog/summer-lull-ends-july-job-cuts-spike-tech-ai-tariffs-blamed/

I’ve been seeing lots of layoffs in the news as well as hearing about it in my industry, and wanted to see what this looked like in data.

I created two graphics: One comparing increases in layoffs by industry compared to last July, and one comparing total monthly layoffs by month compared to last year.

Due to recent controversies I decided to use a different data source than the Bureau of Labor statistics since this data is very recent.
