Somewhat misleading headline. The only reason 2023 is higher is that companies didn't want to do layoffs in Nov/Dec and held until Jan. Better to just look at the graph: https://layoffs.fyi/ The trend is definitely down.

We're into Q4. Does this imply that the downward trend of the past few months will lead to another January spike?
