Trader consensus on Polymarket gives a 67% implied probability for tech layoffs to rise in 2026 over 2025's roughly 127,000 cuts, fueled by aggressive AI-driven workforce restructuring at major firms. Year-to-date through mid-May 2026, over 137,000 tech employees have been laid off across 318 events—already surpassing last year's total—with April marking the worst month since 2023 at around 40,000 jobs cut, including Meta's 8,000 (10% headcount), Snap's 16% reduction, and cuts at Cisco, LinkedIn, and Oracle. This uptick, a 33% increase from the same period in 2025, reflects ongoing optimization for artificial intelligence investments amid economic caution. Key catalysts include upcoming Q2 earnings calls and further AI capability rollouts that could accelerate or temper the trend.

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.
