> Tech layoffs by year:

> 2022: 93,000 employees laid off

> 2023: 200,000 employees laid off (peak)

> 2024: 150,000 employees laid off

> 2025: 70,000 employees laid off (through July)

Any figures on how this compares with the COVID surge in hiring? As in, are we at a net-negative and if so by how much?
