How this report is built
What counts, how jobs are counted, and the as-of date
What counts
Every published Layoffs Tracker announcement dated in January 2025: layoffs, store closures, and return-to-office mandates. Each row is one announcement by one company, dated the day the company or a filing first made it public, not the day the cuts take effect. Months follow UTC dates.
How jobs are counted
Jobs affected is counted only when a source states a number. We never estimate one, so every total on this page is a floor: announcements without a stated number are left out of the sum, not counted as zero.
As-of date
Figures are as of November 2, 2026, and the newest change to a January 2025 announcement was on October 2, 2026. Announcements verified later can still be added to this month.
An edition needs at least 5 published announcements before it is listed for search engines.
Data
Every row, all months, is in the CSV and JSON downloads. Filter on the announcement date to rebuild this report. The tracker methodology covers sources and how to cite.
