The summer is turning colder for many American workers. As the July jobs report shows slowing growth and rising unemployment,
114 companies
have filed notices to lay off employees in August 2025, potentially affecting thousands across the country, as per a report.
US Job Growth Slows as Unemployment Ticks Up to 4.2%
The latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show job growth totaling just
73,000
in July, falling well short of economists' expectations and underscoring growing concerns about the health of the US labor market as US president Donald Trump ramps up tariffs, as reported by CNBC. To make matters worse, the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2%, a figure in line with forecasts but worrying given that previous months' job totals were also revised downward by a combined 258,000, as per the CNBC report.

Are Tariffs Fueling a US Job Market Recession?
While layoffs are rising, experts caution against linking them solely to a struggling economy, as per Newsweek. Some companies may be reducing staff to boost profits or adapt to shifting demand, according to the report. But larger macroeconomic forces are clearly at play, including global tariffs and domestic policy changes, as per the Newsweek report.
Daniel Alpert, executive chairman of Westland Capital LLC, told Newsweek that the "jury's still out" regarding the impact of tariffs on American employers and workers/consumers, and highlighted that as soon as there is a substantial impact on unit sales, a recession will essentially be in effect, as reported by Newsweek.
He explained that, "Conversely, in intermediate goods, when you have price rises in primary inputs that affect the ability of domestic manufacturers to manufacture without losing money, you're going to have layoffs and there's your recession. So, it really depends on what this all comes out to be in the end," as quoted by Newsweek.
Alpert said that, "My general overall answer is what [Trump] wants to do, he can't do without tanking the economy. Can he do something less than what he is fulminating about? Yeah, there are things he can do to fine-tune the system that could even be beneficial. But that's not what's coming out of his mouth, or his pen, at the moment," as quoted in the report.
August Layoffs Up from July, But Below June's Peak
If you're concerned about job security this month, it's worth checking whether your employer is on the WARN list. Layoffs are expected to increase from July's 95 employers to 114 in August, even if the number remains lower than June's 160, as per the Newsweek report.
The range of layoffs varies, some companies are cutting just a handful of jobs, while others are slashing hundreds, according to the report. Some of the businesses affected include food distributors, healthcare providers, banks, tech firms, manufacturers, and logistics companies, according to the Newsweek report.
As the US continues navigating uncertain economic condition, with tariffs, inflation, and consumer behavior all in flux, the job market may remain unpredictable in the months ahead, as per Newsweek.

Infopark Phase III: GCDA to pool 1,000 acres, to issue notification soon
Kochi: Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) initiated procedures to publish the notification for land pooling for the much-awaited Phase III of Infopark GCDA is planning to pool nearly 1,000 acres to establish the new campus across 300 acres in Kizhakkambalam and Kunnathunadu villages of the district. The project will be the first land-pooling project in Kerala. Govt tasked GCDA with land pooling through an order last year. Following this, GCDA engaged in discussions with Infopark at various stages, conducted site inspections and began efforts to identify suitable land. However, GCDA faced technical hurdles as the identified lands were outside GCDA's jurisdiction. The authority approached govt, which subsequently issued an order last month assigning GCDA a special task for land pooling in the area. The first step for land pooling is issuing an initial notification by determining the suitable land. The area intended for pooling, along with details including survey numbers, will be published with the help of a boundary map. Subsequently, a meeting of landowners in the area will be convened to present the project details. If 75% of total landowners agree to pooling, GCDA will proceed with the project. Following this, a draft project document will be prepared for govt approval. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo After gathering public opinions and necessary changes, the final project document will be prepared before commencing work. After implementing projects on the pooled land, a specified percentage of land will be returned to landowners. If 75% of landowners do not consent, steps will be initiated to identify other suitable land, said GCDA authorities. A press note issued by GCDA on Monday said Phase III campus will feature six key components: carbon neutrality, self-sufficiency in water resources, a complete waste management system, road, rail and airport connectivity, an inclusive IT park and a maintenance system that doesn't disrupt the functioning of IT companies. Besides IT companies, there will be residential facilities, commercial establishments, sports and cultural facilities, recreational areas, hospitals and educational institutions, it said.

20 years on, GDA may file FIR against officials for 134 extra flats in society
Ghaziabad: GDA will take action against several current and former officials who allowed a private developer to construct and sell 134 extra flats beyond the sanctioned 400 units at Express Garden society in Indirapuram's Vaibhav Khand in 2005. A GDA panel, set up on the direction of the Allahabad High Court, is set to submit its report to the Authority's additional secretary later this week. The high court is due to hear the matter in Sept. Officials, privy to the content of the committee's findings, said the panel has recommended "FIR be filed against the architect, developer and the then GDA officials under whose watch the additional units were constructed".

Last Feb, TOI reported that the internal probe by the GDA had zeroed in on some officials deputed mostly at the development authority's enforcement wing between 2008 and 2012, and notices had been served to them. Developer Pankaj Goyal, meanwhile, said he was not aware of any probe by a GDA-led panel against the project. "We did not tamper with the covered area but subdivided bigger flats to carve out 134 extra units," Goyal said. "We are for regularising the extra units as per the provisions of Building Bylaws, 2016, for which we approached the state govt and got the necessary sanction. This will be presented in the court." In 2005, the GDA approved the layout of Express Garden, allowing the construction of 400 flats on plot number 6 of Vaibhav Khand. The construction was completed between 2008-12.

Kolkata office market sees growth in Grade A assets, PBDs
Kolkata: More than half of Kolkata's burgeoning office stock has been classified as Grade A, according to a report by property consultancy Knight Frank India (KFI) in its report "A Billion Sq Ft and Counting – India Office Supply Growth Story" released on Monday. "This is a clear indication of the region's focus on quality-led development," said KFI senior director (occupier strategy & solutions) Joydeep Paul. Further, 71% of Kolkata's office stock is now concentrated in peripheral business districts (PBDs) such as Salt Lake Sector V and New Town, underlining the city's structural shift from legacy central business districts (CBDs) to well-connected, cost-efficient suburban office corridors. You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata Kolkata currently accounts for 3% of India's total office space. But developers say that with Kolkata steadily evolving as a business destination, the share is set to rise. In the past decade, the office market in Kolkata witnessed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%, fuelled by infrastructure upgrades, increased interest from regional headquarters of national and global companies and rising occupier confidence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn 57+ Languages Easily with AI [Join] Talkpal AI Undo "Kolkata may be smaller in terms of absolute office stock, but it's steadily building a strong foundation for future growth. With the majority of supply in PBDs and a growing share of Grade A assets, the city presents compelling opportunities for occupiers seeking quality spaces at attractive costs. The emergence of new corridors, and increased occupier diversification signal a positive shift in the market's trajectory," said Paul. Demand in Kolkata was largely driven by IT/ITES, BFSI, flex spaces, and regional headquarters of national conglomerates. A growing startup ecosystem and rising interest from coworking players has added to the city's absorption pipeline. While close to three-fourths of the office market stock concentrated in PBDs, traditional CBDs including Park Street, Camac Street, and Esplanade comprise 20% of the stock, while secondary business districts (SBDs) like EM Bypass, Topsia and Anandapur contribute 8%. Though Kolkata's high Grade A office stock is in line with the national average, the city also held the highest share of Grade C stock among top office markets at 11%, highlighting the opportunity for asset upgrade and retrofitting to meet modern occupier expectations. Grade B stock comprised 37% of the city's total office space. Kolkata continued to offer attractive rental economics, with CBD rents ranging from Rs 70–105/sq ft, SBDs from Rs 55–95/sq ft, and PBDs from Rs 27–65/sq ft, reinforcing its sub-dollar competitiveness in global benchmarks.
