What People Are Saying
Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and host of the 9innings Podcast, told Newsweek: "We're seeing layoffs in aerospace, healthcare, property management—you name it. And it's not just one region. These cuts are happening across multiple states and sectors of the economy."
Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "The most worrying sign in this latest layoff data is the expanding list of sectors being affected. For months, we've seen big tech and major retailers scaling back due to efficiency efforts, but seeing colleges and research businesses added to the list is troubling. It shows that employers have either already been impacted or are expecting to be hurt by federal government grant cuts and are already reducing the workforce."
Michael Ryan, a finance expert and the founder of MichaelRyanMoney.com, told Newsweek: "The economy's tight with inflation and high interest rates making everyone clutch their wallets a little tighter. But here's what gets me: Many of these companies are reporting record profits while still laying people off. It's all about protecting those profit margins and keeping shareholders happy."
What Happens Next
Americans should anticipate more layoffs in the coming months. "There's just too much uncertainty in the business world right now—especially with tariffs and the current administration's policies," Thompson said. "Business owners crave stability—or at least less instability. But what they're getting is confusion, mixed signals, and changing rules. That kind of environment makes it tough to operate, plan, or hire confidently."
