The report pointed out that companies including Amazon, Meta and Salesforce have laid off a large number of employees. From November last year to January this year, the three companies laid off 18,000, 11,000, and 8,000 employees respectively.

The report pointed out that this wave of large-scale layoffs in the technology industry was mainly due to the large-scale recruitment of technology companies during the epidemic, resulting in a sudden increase in the number of employees. However, at the end of last year, outsiders expected that the United States would usher in an economic recession. .

The report mentioned that the large-scale layoffs are not limited to the technology industry, including the media, entertainment, and banking industries. For example, the banking giant Goldman Sachs laid off more than 3,000 people globally last week.

BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, will also cut 500 jobs, the first time in four years.
