Some of the things I look at in assessing whether there are lots of layoffs happening are:
- JOLTS bls.gov/jlt/
- UI claims dol.gov/ui/data.pdf
- WARN notices (@WARNTracker)

White-collar labor market recession started in 11/22 when @amazon cut 10k in IT & at HQ
WA firm just announced more layoffs
Per @WARNTracker WA had highest per capita cuts in '23, a year that saw 10-yr high in layoffs
At some point @profplum99 warns, passive flows will reverse
Replying to @TheBondFreak @P_DiddyBarkio @Stimpyz1 @DiMartinoBooth @Unrealjlr @MNIMarketnews @hussmanjp @profplum99
I'm sorry, let me fix that statement. @hussmanjp is NOT wrong, fundamentals DO matter...just not right now, while Passive dominates with its indiscriminate (forced to ignore fundamentals) buying. However..."one day", fundamentals WILL matter. And that's when IT gets real!

@Layoffsfyi counts the entire 10,000 in the site's sum from 2022.
The closest thing you can get to US-only tech layoff data is to look at WARN data (gov-mandated layoff reporting).
I run @WARNTracker , an aggregator website for these US-mandated layoff reports

.@nytimes interesting piece nytimes.com/2023/07/25/busin… but 1 nit: "large technology companies have laid off more than 386,000 workers nationwide since early 2022"
Pretty sure "nationwide" is incorrect. @Layoffsfyi aggregates layoff data happening in the US AND internationally.
