Nearly 200,000 people have been affected by reported layoffs at technology companies in 2026, and some of the industry’s biggest employers are still announcing job cuts.

According to TrueUp’s tech layoffs tracker, 196,349 people were reported affected by layoffs at technology companies in 2026 as of Oct. 23. The figure includes announced reductions and should not be interpreted as a count of completed layoffs or as layoffs exclusively affecting technical positions. Major employers including Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft have reduced staffing, while October brought additional cuts at eBay, Netflix, and Electronic Arts.

For people working in technology or hoping to enter the industry, the layoffs raise questions about job security, hiring opportunities, and whether artificial intelligence is changing the kinds of employees companies need.
