U.S. employers have cited artificial intelligence in 191,961 announced job cuts since outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas began tracking the reason in May 2023, including 120,136 from January through September 2026, about 21% of all cuts this year. That is up from 4,247 in 2023, 12,742 in 2024 and 54,836 in 2025. Even so, AI-linked announcements equaled only about 0.26% of the 21.2 million layoffs and discharges the Bureau of Labor Statistics counted in 2025.

AI-attributed job cuts roughly tripled from 2023 to 2024 and grew 4.3 times from 2024 to 2025. The 2023 figure covers only May through December, when Challenger began tracking AI as a reason.
AI-attributed U.S. job cuts by year
| Year | AI-attributed job cuts | All announced job cuts | AI share | AI cuts per 100,000 U.S. jobs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 (May–Dec) | 4,247 | 721,677 | 0.6% | 2.7 |
| 2024 | 12,742 | 761,358 | 1.7% | 8.1 |
| 2025 | 54,836 | 1,206,374 | 4.5% | 34.6 |

Announced U.S. job cuts where the employer cited AI, and all announced cuts, as tracked by Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Jobs per 100,000 use average U.S. nonfarm payroll employment from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (September 2026 for 2026). The 2026 column covers nine months, so its per-job rate is not a full-year figure.
- Challenger first tracked 'Artificial Intelligence' as a job-cut reason in May 2023, when 3,900 cuts were attributed to it. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report)
- From 2023 through December 2025, AI was cited in 71,825 U.S. job-cut announcements. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report)
- Technology led private-sector job cuts with 154,445 in 2025, up 15% from 2024. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report)
- Technology announced 165,925 cuts through September 2026, up 54% from 107,878 a year earlier. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report)
How many jobs have been cut because of AI?
Adding Challenger's yearly totals gives 191,961 announced U.S. job cuts attributed to AI from May 2023 through September 2026. Counting the cuts Challenger files under technological updates that are possibly AI or automation in 2025 and 2026 raises the estimate to 213,545.
- Challenger's 2024 reason table lists 18,125 cuts under 'Technological Update (not AI)', a category separate from the AI reason. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report, December 2024)
- Challenger's 2025 reason table lists 20,219 cuts under 'Technological Update (possibly AI)', separate from the 54,836 explicitly attributed to AI. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report, December 2025)
- Challenger's 2026 reason table (through September) lists 1,353 cuts under 'Technological Update (automation)'. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report, September 2026)
These are announced plans, not confirmed job losses. Some announced cuts are never carried out, and employers that don't name AI as the reason are not counted, so the true figure could be higher or lower.
AI job cuts by month in 2026
AI was the top reason employers gave for job cuts for five straight months, March through July, before falling to 3,462 cuts in August. In September, employers cited AI in 3,961 cuts.
| Month (2026) | AI-attributed job cuts | Share of all cuts |
|---|---|---|
| January | 7,624 | 7% |
| February | 4,680 | About 10% |
| March | 15,341 | 25% |
| April | 21,490 | 26% |
| May | 38,579 | 40% |
| June | 14,029 | 31% |
| July | 10,970 | 33% |
| August | 3,462 | — |
| September | 3,961 | About 9% |
| January–September | 120,136 | About 21% |
Announced U.S. job cuts where the employer cited AI, as tracked by Challenger, Gray & Christmas. — means the share was not reported. Announcements are plans and may not all be carried out.
- Since Challenger began tracking AI as a reason in 2023, it had been cited in 184,538 U.S. job-cut announcements through July 2026. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report)
- By May 2026, AI had been cited for 87,714 cuts (22% of 2026 layoffs), already above the 54,836 attributed to AI in all of 2025. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report)
- Technology companies announced 165,925 cuts through September 2026, up 54% year over year and 29% of all 2026 cuts. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report)
- AI was the second-most cited factor in October 2025 with 31,039 cuts; 48,414 year to date. (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report)
- Through July 2025, 10,375 cuts were explicitly attributed to AI, plus 20,219 to 'technological update' (including automation and AI implementation). (Challenger, Gray & Christmas job cuts report)
AI layoffs compared with all U.S. layoffs
Announced cuts are only part of the picture. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts every layoff and discharge, about 20 million a year, which puts AI-attributed announcements well under 1% of all job losses.
| Year | AI-attributed job cuts | All U.S. layoffs and discharges | AI share of all layoffs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 (May–Dec) | 4,247 | 19,847,000 | 0.02% |
| 2024 | 12,742 | 20,014,000 | 0.06% |
| 2025 | 54,836 | 21,239,000 | 0.26% |
Layoffs and discharges are annual totals from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, not seasonally adjusted. They include every involuntary separation, not just announced plans.
- Annual layoffs and discharges rose by 1.2 million in 2025 to 21.2 million, 33.8% of all separations. (BLS JOLTS news release, January 2026 data)
- In August 2026 (preliminary), U.S. layoffs and discharges were 1,641,000 (seasonally adjusted), a 1.0% rate, down from 1,832,000 in August 2025. (BLS JOLTS news release, August 2026 data)
AI layoffs as a share of each company's workforce
These companies tied job cuts to AI in their own filings, memos or statements. The workforce figure is the most recent one each company reported before the cut.
| Company | Announced | Jobs cut | Workforce before the cut | Share of workforce |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Block | Feb 2026 | 4,000 | 10,205 | 39.2% |
| Fiverr | Sep 2025 | 250 | 762 | 32.8% |
| Chegg | Oct 2025 | 388 | 1,271 | 30.5% |
| Coinbase | May 2026 | 700 | 4,951 | 14.1% |
| Dow | Jan 2026 | 4,500 | 34,600 | 13.0% |
| Atlassian | Mar 2026 | 1,600 | 13,813 | 11.6% |
| Intuit | Jul 2024 | 1,800 | 18,200 | 9.9% |
| Autodesk | Feb 2025 | 1,350 | 15,300 | 8.8% |
| Workday | Feb 2025 | 1,750 | 20,400 | 8.6% |
| Visa | Jul 2026 | 2,600 | 34,100 | 7.6% |
| HP Inc. | Nov 2025 | 4,000–6,000 | 55,000 | 7.3–10.9% |
| Salesforce | Sep 2025 | 4,000 | 76,453 | 5.2% |
| CrowdStrike | May 2025 | 500 | 10,118 | 4.9% |
| Amazon | Oct 2025 | 14,000 | 1,556,000 | 0.9% |
| BILL | May 2026 | Not given | 2,364 | Up to 30% |
| Jan 2026 | Not given | 5,265 | Under 15% |
Workforce figures come from each company's annual report. Amazon's total includes warehouse and part-time staff, while its cut covered corporate roles only. Chegg puts its cut at about 45% of staff because its workforce had already shrunk earlier in 2025. HP's cut is a range through fiscal 2028. Salesforce and Visa figures come from news reports of company statements.
Companies whose workforce shrank as AI took on work
| Company | Period | Workforce before | Workforce after | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Klarna | 2023 to 2025 | 4,352 | 2,831 | −34.9% |
| Oracle | May 2025 to May 2026 | 162,000 | 141,000 | −13.0% |
| Accenture | May to August 2025 | 791,000 | 779,000 | −1.5% |
Klarna and Oracle attribute the decline to AI in their annual reports. Accenture said it was exiting staff who could not be reskilled for the skills it needs, without giving a count.
What the layoff numbers show
Smaller companies cut deeper. Among the 14 companies above with both a job-cut count and a published workforce figure, those with fewer than 15,000 employees cut a median 22% of their staff, against 8% at larger firms. The correlation between company size and share of staff cut is −0.71 on a scale from −1 to 1, a strong inverse relationship. At Amazon, 14,000 corporate roles equaled about 0.9% of all employees.
AI's share kept rising while overall layoffs fell. Announced cuts for all reasons dropped 39% in the first nine months of 2026 compared with the same months of 2025, yet AI-attributed cuts in those nine months were already 2.2 times the full-year 2025 total. AI went from 0.6% of announced cuts in 2023 to 21.0% in 2026.
AI layoffs are still a small slice of all job losses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 21.2 million layoffs and discharges in 2025, so the 54,836 AI-attributed announcements equaled about 0.26% of them, or about 35 for every 100,000 U.S. jobs. In the first nine months of 2026 that rate climbed to about 76 per 100,000 jobs.
The largest cuts were not blamed on AI. UPS cut about 48,000 operational positions in 2025 and Microsoft about 9,000 employees, but neither attributed those cuts to AI, so neither counts toward the totals above.
Press announcements and legal filings tell different stories. Challenger counted 54,836 AI-attributed cuts nationwide in 2025, yet New York, the first state to ask employers whether a layoff is tied to automation, had not received a single notice citing it by the end of January 2026, across more than 750 notices covering nearly 28,300 workers.
Exposure to AI tracks with job losses by occupation. St. Louis Fed researchers found a 0.47 correlation between how exposed an occupation is to AI and how much its unemployment rose from 2022 to 2025, and Stanford researchers found employment of 22- to 25-year-olds in the most AI-exposed jobs running 19% below that of less-exposed peers.
AI layoffs by state
No state publishes a count of AI-related layoffs yet. New York added an automation question to layoff notices in March 2025, Connecticut began asking on October 1, 2026, and California's rule takes effect January 1, 2027.
- New York's Department of Labor added a 'technological innovation or automation' disclosure to WARN filings in March 2025. (Hunton Andrews Kurth employment blog)
- New York's Department of Labor told WIRED that, as of end of January 2026, no employer had marked technology/automation as a reason on a WARN notice. (WIRED)
- Since the checkbox rollout, New York received over 750 WARN notices from 162 employers affecting nearly 28,300 workers, none citing AI. (WIRED)
- Connecticut requires employers filing WARN notices to disclose whether layoffs relate to AI or other technological change, effective Oct. 1, 2026. (Epstein Becker Green Workforce Bulletin)
- California SB 951 (Cal-WARN 'technology displacement' notices) was chaptered on Sept. 30, 2026; EDD must post quarterly statewide summaries. (California Legislative Information)
- New Jersey A5500 (introduced June 23, 2026) would require 90-day notice of AI-driven reductions of 25+ positions and quarterly AI displacement rates (pending). (New Jersey Legislature bill text)
- New York bill S8928 would make AI and automation disclosure statutory in WARN notices and require quarterly DOL summaries of AI-driven reductions (pending). (New York State Assembly bill text)
Until those reports arrive, the closest state-level view is where layoffs of all kinds are concentrated. Technology-heavy states lead.
States with the most announced job cuts in 2026
| State | Announced job cuts, all reasons (Jan–Sep 2026) |
|---|---|
| California | 114,818 |
| Washington | 52,313 |

| Georgia | 41,952 |
| Michigan | 33,627 |
| New York | 32,707 |
| New Jersey | 29,831 |
Announced job cuts for all reasons by employers in each state, January through September 2026, from Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Challenger does not break AI-attributed cuts out by state.
