Steff Danielle Thomas report:
For the second straight month, AI was listed as the leading reason for the job cuts. Employers attributed 21,490 planned layoffs in April to artificial intelligence and automation efforts, accounting for more than a quarter of all cuts, the report notes.
The findings come as companies across the technology, finance and customer service sectors ramp up investments in generative AI tools aimed at improving efficiency and lowering labor costs.
Technology companies continued to lead all industries in layoffs this year. Challenger data showed the sector announced tens of thousands of cuts during the first few months of 2026 as firms restructured and shifted spending toward AI initiatives. [emphasis added]
