自去年以来,裁员人数翻了两番,其中媒体和科技行业遭受的打击最为严重。招聘公司Challenger, Gray & Christmas的一份新报告显示,今年以来,媒体行业的裁员人数创历史新高,而科技行业的裁员人数达到2001年以来的最高水平。

除了教育、政府、工业制造和公用事业,今年所有行业的裁员人数都有所增加。科技行业引领了5月份的裁员潮,当月裁员人数超过2.2万人,比去年同期增长了2939%。5月份的裁员总人数比4月份增加了20%。

今年到目前为止,科技行业已经裁员136,831人,而2001年全年,在科技行业崩盘的情况下,裁员168,395人。

自1月以来,美国企业共裁员417,500人,1月至5月是自2020年以来裁员总人数最多的五个月。不包括疫情开始时的2020年,今年是自2009年金融危机以来裁员人数最多的一年。

尽管如此,全美失业率仅为3.4%,是1969年以来的最低水平。

媒体行业迄今为止裁员17,436人的纪录,刚刚超过2020年5月创下的纪录。在媒体行业内部,新闻业经历了特别艰难的一年。今年有近2000人失业,超过了2022年全年的失业总人数。

企业在今年剩余时间内的招聘计划也比去年有所下降。由于通货膨胀、高利率和对经济衰退的担忧,劳动力市场似乎正在放缓,因为企业宣布今年计划招聘10万多名员工,比2022年5月计划的招聘人数下降了83%。这是疫情期间近三年来预期招聘的最低水平。

Challenger, Gray & Christmas高级副总裁安德鲁·查林杰(Andrew Challenger)在报告中表示:“职位空缺正趋于平缓。由于预期经济会出现放缓,企业似乎正在削减招聘规模。”

银行业和零售业也受到了冲击,截至5月份,各大银行宣布裁员近3.7万人,是去年同期的四倍。零售业在5月份成为裁员人数第二高的行业,上个月裁掉了9000多个工作岗位。

裁员主要集中在某些地区。硅谷所在地加州受到的打击最为严重,截至上个月,裁员人数比去年增加了10倍,达到了惊人的15.13万人。纽约紧随其后,裁员人数是加州的三分之一。

消费者信心也处于六个月来的最低点。作为对5月份债务上限僵局的回应,企业和劳动力前景均有所下降,仍低于疫情前的水平。(财富中文网)

Layoffs have quadrupled since last year, with media and tech suffering the worst blows. Media has had a record number of year-to-date cuts while tech job losses were the highest since 2001, according to a new report from recruiting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Every industry increased layoffs this year, except for education, government, industrial manufacturing, and utilities. Tech led the May surge with over 22,000 layoffs for the month, up 2,939% from the same period last year. The total number of layoffs in May was up 20% from April.

So far this year, tech has cut 136,831 jobs, compared to 168,395 for all of 2001, amid the tech industry’s collapse.

Companies overall have eliminated 417,500 jobs since January, the highest five-month total since 2020. Excluding 2020, the start of the pandemic, the year thus far has had the most layoffs since 2009 amid the financial crisis.

Still, the national unemployment rate is at just 3.4%, the lowest it’s been since 1969.

The media industry’s record of 17,436 year-to-date cuts just surpasses the previous record set in May 2020. Within media, the news industry has seen a particularly difficult year. Nearly 2,000 people have lost their jobs in news this year, eclipsing the tally for all of 2022.

Plans by companies to hire over the remainder of the year are down from last year as well. The labor market seems to be slowing due to inflation, high interest rates, and fears of recession, as companies announced plans to hire just over 100,000 workers this year, down 83% from what they said in May 2022. This is the lowest level of anticipated hiring in nearly three years, during the pandemic.

“Job openings are flattening. Companies appear to be putting the brakes on hiring in anticipation of a slowdown,” said Andrew Challenger, senior vice president of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, in the report.

The banking and retail industries also took a hit, with banks announcing nearly 37,000 job cuts through May, quadruple the figure at the same time last year. Retail endured the second-highest industry cuts during May, eliminating over 9,000 jobs last month.

Layoffs were concentrated in certain locations. California, home of Silicon Valley, was hit the hardest, with job cuts up tenfold from last year to a staggering 151,300 as of last month. New York followed, with a third as many layoffs as California.

Consumer confidence is at a six-month low as well. In response to the May debt ceiling standoff, outlooks for both business and labor declined, remaining solidly below pre-pandemic levels.
