Layoffs.fyi

Tech Layoff Tracker and DOGE Layoff Tracker. Get recent updates on the layoffs that are happening in the tech industry and federal government. Layoffs.fyi provides real-time, public data on tech layoffs, making it more timely than government reports that rely on representative surveys that are kept anonymous though it relies on public reports and voluntary submissions (Duff, M, January 30, 2023).

Who should use this resource:

Students who are looking for employment in the tech industry or the federal government can use this tracker to see if the company that they have applied to has made recent layoffs. This can determine whether or not they choose to apply to these companies.

Why it’s helpful:

This can help students identifying hiring trends in the tech industry. High layoff numbers in specific industries (like Ed-Tech or Crypto) can signal which sectors to approach with caution.
