Newsweek, November 2025

Layoffs can be viewed as a signal about how companies view economic headwinds, but reasons could also be due to restructuring or plans to maximize profits. An August report from outplacement firm Challenger Gray & Christmas found that hundreds of thousands of layoffs have occurred so far in 2025—many of which were part of President Donald Trump’s changes to the federal workforce.
