Over 150,000 Tech Jobs Lost in 2025—But Is the Bloodbath Slowing?
The tech sector’s turbulent run isn’t over, but signs of stabilization are emerging.
According to the latest data, more than 150,000 jobs have been cut across 549 tech companies in 2025. From early-stage startups to major players, companies have continued to trim headcounts in efforts to refocus on core operations, control costs, and adapt to shifting macroeconomic conditions.
Despite the grim headline, there’s a silver lining: the pace of layoffs is slowing compared to the peak periods of 2022–2024. Analysts say this may signal the bottom of the current cycle, with many companies already having made their deepest cuts.
Big Tech has been relatively more insulated this year. Instead, the layoffs are concentrated in mid-sized companies and venture-backed startups recalibrating growth expectations in a post-ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy) economy.
Sectors hit hardest include HR tech, edtech, cloud SaaS, and e-commerce infrastructure, while AI and cybersecurity remain strongholds for hiring.
The industry’s restructuring appears far from finished, but with declining layoff velocity and improving VC sentiment, insiders hope this wave will mark the tail end of a painful correction.
