US Tech-Sector Layoffs Keep Mounting as Other Job Cuts Decline

Planned job cuts continued to mount in the US technology sector last month, bringing the year-to-date total to a three-year high even as overall private-sector layoff announcements receded.

Tech companies announced 33,361 job cuts in April, according to data from outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. So far this year, the industry has planned 85,411 cuts, up 33% from the same period in 2025.
