December 2022 In Review (layoffs)

December 2022. While layoffs have been plaguing both US and International markets for some time now. The most recent layoffs hit workers across the globe as we approached the holiday season. And while there is never a good time to be laid off from a job it's always unpopular during the end of the year with the New Year, ōmisoka, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and many other international holidays being celebrated, it makes it extremely difficult to enjoy the holidays.

But why are these layoffs happening? There are a number of reasons that have been cited by companies such as overhiring following the pandemic, failure to secure funding, and a downturn in the economy.

Currently, I'm tracking 55 companies with layoffs in December of 2022 and while the number of affected employees is well over 5000 (just from what I'm tracking).
