Methodology and Limits

  • We list a cut only with a dated source: an SEC filing, a state layoff (WARN) notice, a company statement, or a named news report that quotes the company.
  • Totals count jobs the source states. "About" figures are used as given. Cuts with no number are listed but add nothing to the total.
  • Voluntary exit offers are shown in grey and never added, since nobody has lost a job yet.
  • A company can appear more than once when it made separate cuts.
  • "AI cited" means the company or its filing named AI or automation. We don't guess reasons.
  • Other trackers include more small cuts and estimates, so their totals run higher. Ours is a floor, not a full count.
