背景
Layoffs across the U.S. dropped to their lowest level in four years in August, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. The 52,881 announced job cuts were down 38% from the same month last year, and year-to-date cuts are down 41% from 2025. Despite the low layoff numbers, many companies remain hesitant to hire, and the consumer products industry led August cuts with over 10,000 job losses.
