Layoffs Climbing

Labor shortages and low unemployment numbers gave American workers the upper hand over the past two years. Despite the unemployment rate edging down this fall, fear of layoffs is rising. At least three out of every five workers do not feel comfortable asking their bosses for a raise, and 58% of workers believe their bosses have the higher ground, a new Harris Poll revealed.

In fact, nearly 50% of executives are reducing their headcount and streamlining their workforce, a study of 722 people conducted in August by Price Waterhouse Coopers revealed. Large corporations like Nordstrom, Gap, Amazon, and Credit Suisse all slashed their workforce in September. The cuts continued in October, with big names like Peloton, Hello Fresh, and Oracle announcing layoffs.

Many Wall Street banks are even reviving their traditional practice of making year-end layoffs before bonus season begins. They halted the practice during the hiring crunch over the past two years. Goldman Sachs planned to cut “several hundred” jobs in September, axing workers it labeled “low performers,” CNBC reported.

On top of financial concerns, getting laid off can cause anxiety, depression, and shame. The constant threat of layoffs and stagnant wages are taking a toll. Gone are the days when Americans could climb the corporate ladder at a single company. The average American spends only 4.1 years with the same employer, and the number decreases with younger generations. Millennials spend less than 2.8 years at a company before moving on to new opportunities.
