AI layoffs and job displacement data

A public evidence hub separating AI-cited U.S. job cuts, all-cause global tech layoffs, official Texas WARN filings, and occupational exposure. Every measure is sourced and dated; unlike figures are never added together.

Do not add these figures together. They measure different things and overlap: occupational exposure (U.S.), employer-attributed AI cuts (U.S.), all-cause tech/startup layoffs (global), and official WARN filings (currently Texas). "Known roles/workers" excludes events with unstated headcounts.

Sources, scope, and method

AI-cited events are curated from public employer statements and reporting; every displayed row has a source. Challenger measures U.S. announced cuts by employer-stated reason. Layoffs.fyi tracks global tech/startup layoffs across all causes. WARN rows are official Texas notices and do not state a cause. Occupational exposure is our O*NET and BLS model, not a layoff count.

The figures are never added together. Sources overlap and describe different populations, geographies, and concepts. Known-role and known-worker totals exclude events whose headcount was not disclosed.
