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 November 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 November 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
