WARN rows group each company's notices by month; when a company also announced the cut, its WARN notices are shown on the announcement instead of as a separate row. "Workers affected" uses the number the company gave; if it gave only a percentage, we multiply it by the headcount in its latest annual report and say so; otherwise we use the WARN total. "AI cited" means the company itself linked the cut to AI. Last updated: October 28, 2026.

Do bigger companies cut deeper?
The median share of the workforce cut, by company size.
| Company size | Announcements | Median share cut | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,000 employees | 8 | 7% to 53.6% | |
| 1,000 to 9,999 | 21 | 5% to 26% | |
| 10,000 to 99,999 | 13 | 2% to 40% | |
| 100,000 or more | 1 | 2.1% to 2.1% |
Only announcements that give a percentage. Company size is the headcount in the latest 10-K for Big Tech; for the others we derive it from the number of jobs and the percentage announced. Source: GoLayoffs Tech Layoff Tracker.
Are tech layoffs caused by AI?
Only some companies say so. We mark a cut as “AI cited” when the company itself links it to AI, for example to an “AI-first” strategy or to moving money into AI products. Here is how that share has changed during the year.

Reported tech layoffs, not yet confirmed
Some cuts appear in the news before the company says anything. We list them here, with the outlet that reported them, but we leave them out of the totals until an SEC filing, a WARN notice or the company confirms them.
| Reported | Company | Reported size | Status | Report |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 13, 2026 | XM Cyber | About 250 jobs (reported) | Calcalist reports the Israeli security company is cutting most of its Israeli staff after CrowdStrike bought its technology for about $600 million; most remaining employees stay with owner Schwarz Group. | Calcalist |
| Oct 13, 2026 | Lightspeed Commerce | About 250 roles incl. closed vacancies (reported) | Reported by BetaKit, which quoted a Lightspeed spokesperson; the company has not issued a public release and did not split layoffs from closed vacancies. | BetaKit |
| Oct 12, 2026 | Microsoft | About 50 in Israel (reported) | Reported by CTech; Microsoft has not confirmed. | CTech |
| Oct 8, 2026 | Flock Safety | About 270 jobs, ~18% of staff (reported) | Reuters, citing sources: cuts after a voluntary buyout, departures expected at the end of October, amid backlash over its AI license-plate cameras. Flock told TechCrunch the September program was voluntary and "not a layoff". | Reuters |
These cuts were reported by news outlets but not confirmed by the company, an SEC filing or a WARN notice. They are not included in the totals above. When a source confirms one, it moves to the main table.

From official WARN notices in California, Washington, New York, Texas, Florida, Maryland, Virginia, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, Oregon and Colorado, checked every hour. Includes employers in the "Information" industry and large technology companies. WARN notices cover single sites, so they show only part of a company-wide cut.
How we track tech layoffs
- Three kinds of sources, each linked. SEC filings: public companies must file a Form 8-K when they commit to a restructuring with material costs (Item 2.05), and foreign companies report on Form 6-K. Company statements: newsroom posts, CEO letters and on-the-record confirmations. WARN notices: employers must notify the state before mass layoffs, and we read the official files of four states every day.
- No anonymous numbers in the totals. Cuts reported only by unnamed sources go in the “not yet confirmed” list. That is why our totals can be lower than trackers that count every news report.
- When a company gives only a percentage, we multiply it by the headcount in its latest annual report and show the calculation next to the entry. Ranges with “up to” or “less than” are never turned into a number.
- No double counting. When a company files WARN notices after announcing a cut, the notices are shown on the announcement, not as a new layoff.
- What counts as a tech company: software, internet platforms, semiconductors, hardware, IT services, fintech, online marketplaces, gaming and digital media, plus employers in the “Information” industry in state WARN data.
- AI cited means the company itself linked the cut to AI in the filing or statement. Mentions of AI in generic risk warnings do not count.
- Updates. WARN data refreshes twice a day. We check SEC filings and company announcements every day. Spotted a mistake or a missing cut? Write to us through the About page.

How many tech layoffs are because of AI?
19 of the 74 company announcements this year (26%) link the cut to AI in the company's own words, for example by moving resources to AI products. Mentions of AI in risk factors do not count.
Where does this data come from?
Each entry links to a primary source: a Form 8-K or 6-K filed with the SEC, an official company statement, or a WARN notice published by a state labor agency. We do not count cuts reported only by anonymous sources; those are listed separately as unconfirmed. The data is free to use with a link to this page.
What should I do if I was laid off from a tech company?
Check when your health insurance ends and your COBRA deadlines, read any severance agreement before signing, and file for unemployment benefits in your state right away. If your employer has 100 or more workers, it may have owed you 60 days' notice under the WARN Act.
