The Tech Layoff Trend
Given the economic tumult of the Trump presidency and the evolution of AI over the last few years, it’s safe to say that tech layoffs aren’t going anywhere any time soon.
In 2025, big tech has already accounted for more than 60,000 job losses, according to data from layoffs.fyi, with companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon culling employees on a troublingly consistent basis.
To make matters worse, available entry level positions continue to drop, with data from LinkedIn showing that entry level options are harder and harder to find than in previous years.
All that to say, this isn’t the first layoff announcement from a big tech firm like Microsoft, and we can guarantee that it won’t be the last.
