More than 206,000 technology workers have been affected by layoffs worldwide in 2026. This happened as some of the industry's biggest companies cut jobs while increasing investments in artificial intelligence. 

According to TrueUp's tech layoffs tracker, 206,817 workers have been affected in 712 reported layoff events as of Nov. 13. That amounts to approximately 652 workers per day, compared with an average of 579 in 2025.
