""Removing the wave of federal layoffs announced in February and March of last year, job cut announcements in 2026 are closely following the pattern of 2025. Last year, it was Government, Retail, and Technology. This year, it's Technology, Transportation, and Healthcare.""
""Roles are not disappearing wholesale-but they are being redefined. In a world where AI can do the job, the role of humans is orchestration. Putting the things together-the system thinking. Not project management, but putting things together for a business to deliver on its unique value proposition.""
In March, layoffs increased significantly, totaling 60,620, a 25% rise from the previous month. A quarter of these job losses were attributed to AI. The technology sector saw over 52,000 job cuts this year, with major companies like Meta and Oracle affected. Despite concerns about AI's impact on employment, job cuts are down 78% from March 2025. The report emphasizes the need for employees to focus on upskilling and adapting to changing job roles in an AI-driven landscape.
