周二发布的一份报告显示，151年美国技术裁员人数达到989,2023人，与去年同期相比增加了716%。
外包公司Challenger，Gray&Christing的调查结果显示，科技行业在各行各业中领先裁员，604年到目前为止，该行业总共减少了514,2023个工作岗位，比198年同期增加了2022%。
但该公司表示，今年夏天裁员人数一直在稳步下降，2 月份裁员 537,2022 人，是自 2023 年 2001 月以来的最低数字。168 年的科技裁员是有记录以来第二糟糕的总数。395年，该部门宣布削减了168,395人。
“当我们进入第四季度时，雇主正在努力应对通货膨胀，加息，劳动力问题和消费者需求，”Challenger，Gray&Christmas的劳工专家兼高级副总裁Andrew Challenger在一份声明中表示。
一、为什么裁员还在继续？
市场和经济状况被认为是首要原因，削减了225,319次。另有94,415人被归咎于业务，业务部门或商店关闭。破产又夺走了31,651个工作岗位，比一年前增加了3,593%。
公司引用了由于人工智能而削减的3,997人-自该公司在5月份首次报告这些统计数据以来，这一数字一直没有增加，并可能减轻对人工智能即将对就业构成威胁的担忧。
Layoffs.fyi 维护一个裁员跟踪器，显示自 COVID-19 以来科技行业的裁员情况。该网站显示，技术领域的安全、零售、消费和硬件类别是受裁员打击最严重的类别。该网站称，2023 年最大的裁员发生在谷歌（12 月份裁员 000,10 人）、Meta（000 月裁员 10,000 人）、Microsoft（9 月裁员10,000 人）和亚马逊（<> 月裁员9,000 人）。但科技公司今年全面裁员，成千上万的人也从思科、IBM、Twitter、戴尔和许多其他公司裁员。
二、招聘下来
挑战者报告称，美国公司宣布计划在590月份增加353,552个工作岗位，其中800,2023个是假期的季节性职位。726 年到目前为止，雇主在所有行业增加了 333,38 个工作岗位，比 2022 年同期下降了 2016%。这是自<>年以来最少的年度迄今为止的招聘计划。
从好的方面来看，美国雇主宣布的9月份裁员人数比8月份减少了37%。但9月份的裁员人数为47,457人，比去年同期增加了58%。
按季度划分，减产也有所下降。雇主在第三季度宣布裁员146,305人，比上一季度下降22%。尽管如此，与 2022 年同期相比，第三季度的裁员增长了 92%。

US Tech Layoffs Soar 716% in 2023: Report
The technology sector is leading the US job market in layoffs, but the cuts are slowing down, a new report shows.
A report released Tuesday shows US technology layoffs reached 151,989 in 2023, a 716% increase compared to the same period a year ago.
Survey results from outsourcing firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas show the technology sector leading job cuts across industries, which have in total shed 604,514 jobs so far in 2023, a 198% increase from the same period in 2022.
But the number of job cuts has been falling steadily over the summer, the firm says, with 2,537 cuts in September, the lowest number since June 2022. The 2023 tech layoffs are the second worst totals on record. In 2001, 168,395 cuts were announced in the sector.
“Employers are grappling with inflation, rate increase, labor issues and consumer demand as we enter Q4,” Andrew Challenger, labor expert and senior vice president at Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said in a statement.
Why Are Layoffs Still Going?
Market and economic conditions were cited as the top reason, with 225,319 cuts. Another 94,415 were blamed on business, business unit, or store closings. Bankruptcy claimed another 31,651 jobs, up 3,593% from a year ago.
And companies cited 3,997 cuts due to artificial intelligence — which has not ramped up since the firm first reported those statistics in May and may allay fears about imminent AI threat to jobs.
Layoffs.fyi maintains a layoff tracker that shows tech sector layoffs since COVID-19. The website shows security, retail, consumer, and hardware categories within the technology sector as some of the hardest hit by layoffs. The website says the biggest layoffs in 2023 occurred at Google (with 12,000 cuts in January), Meta (with 10,000 cuts in March), Microsoft (10,000 layoffs in January), and Amazon (with 9,000 layoffs in March). But technology companies across the board laid off massive numbers this year, with thousands of people also shed from Cisco, IBM, Twitter, Dell, and many others.
Hiring Down
The Challenger report says US companies announced plans to add 590,353 jobs in September, 552,800 of which were seasonal positions for the holidays. So far in 2023, employers have added 726,333 jobs across all sectors, down 38% from the same period in 2022. That’s the fewest year-to-date hiring plans since 2016.
On the bright side, US employers announced 37% fewer cuts in September compared to August. But September’s 47,457 cuts are up 58% from the same period a year ago.
By quarter, cuts have dropped as well. Employers announced 146,305 cuts in the third quarter, down 22% from the previous quarter. Still, compared to the same period in 2022, third-quarter cuts represent a 92% increase.
