Morgan Stanley, Walmart, Pfizer and more: Full list of over 150 American companies laying off employees in June
In the first quarter of 2025, the US workforce experienced significant upheaval due to widespread federal layoffs, corporate restructuring, cost-cutting initiatives, and mounting financial pressures across industries. Federal agencies were responsible for more than half of all job cuts during the quarter, with over 150,000 layoffs reported in February and March alone.
Looking ahead to June, thousands more employees across various sectors are expected to lose their jobs, reports NewsWeek. Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, companies must notify employees in advance of mass layoffs. According to WARNTracker.com, approximately 138 employers have filed WARN notices indicating plans to implement layoffs next month.

Which American companies will face layoffs in June?
According to NewsWeek, nearly 160 companies will be laying off employees throughout the month of June, exceeding the approximately 130 companies that did so in May. President Donald Trump announced on May 25 that he would postpone the implementation of the planned 50 percent tariffs on trade with the European Union, moving the start date from June 1 to July 9, in response to a request from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Layoffs are set to impact a range of industries, including retail, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, airlines, and package delivery, among others. The number of affected workers varies by company—some are reducing staff by as few as one to 25 employees, while others, such as U.S. Cellular, are planning more significant cuts.

Why are layoffs happening in US?
American workers and businesses have faced economic uncertainty, partly due to the widespread impact of tariffs imposed on nearly every other country, as well as on specific sectors like steel, aluminum, and foreign automobiles.
Layoffs may not always reflect the overall economic climate. Some companies reduce their workforce to boost profits, while others restructure to better meet consumer demand.
James Hohman, director of fiscal policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, told Newsweek:
'In today's America, pharmacists earn about twice as much as machinists. There are also twice as many drivers as metal workers, and driving typically offers higher pay. Overall, service industry jobs now outpace manufacturing in terms of compensation.
'The country as a whole has become wealthier. While the rich have certainly grown richer, lower-income Americans have also seen gains. More households today are earning higher incomes compared to a generation ago—and globalization has played a role in that progress.'

Bryan Driscoll, an HR consultant, previously told Newsweek: 'Workers should be cautious—not because they're failing to perform, but because many employers remain focused on short-term financial appearances. We're seeing health insurers and government agencies cut jobs under the guise of restructuring or realignment, which often just means reducing headcount to reduce costs.'
Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor at the University of Tennessee at Martin, also weighed in, telling Newsweek:
'There are really two kinds of layoffs happening. On one hand, federal agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services are undergoing significant restructuring as a result of new leadership. This means some roles may be eliminated or merged with others to meet efficiency goals.'
"At the same time, we're also seeing health insurers scaling back their workforces. Rising medical expenses paired with those who are insured utilizing their coverage more frequently have some insurers cutting jobs to free up cash in the face of lower revenues."

Desi AI founders risk falling behind overseas peers: Accel
BENGALURU: Venture capital firm Accel partners Shekhar Kirani and Prayank Swaroop highlighted concerns about Indian AI startups lagging behind global competitors, despite having comparable technical abilities. They cited insufficient urgency and limited global vision as key issues. During a media roundtable on Wednesday, they observed that while India is experiencing an emergence of technically proficient, AI-focused founders, many maintain a cautious, risk-averse approach that could prove detrimental in this fast-moving sector. "In the Valley, it's a warzone. Engineers are building, iterating, raising money, and chasing scale aggressively," Kirani said. "In India, many still operate in peacetime mode, trying to optimise for capital efficiency, fixing bugs, and selling to five customers. That's not how you win this AI cycle." The disparity is evident in valuations. Kirani noted that US-based AI-first startups demonstrating revenue growth can achieve valuations over $500 million at $15 million ARR, while traditional SaaS firms with similar figures typically receive valuations around $100 million. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Promoções imperdíveis de voos baratos Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo "The market rewards velocity. If you're an AI-native company growing fast, the delta in pull and valuation is unprecedented," he said. Swaroop indicated a shift in investor perspectives. "Everyone's looking for that breakout moment. Earlier, a company showing $1-2 million ARR might be considered early stage. Now, if it's AI-first and compounding fast, the expectation is that it hits $50-100 million in revenue within 12-18 months," he said. "The bar is higher, but so is the upside, if the founder is thinking globally." Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .

Canada steelworkers urge Ottawa to counter Trump
Steelworkers in the Canadian city of Hamilton see President Donald Trump's latest trade war escalation as a wake-up call, insisting US efforts to protect struggling metal producers demand an equivalent national response. Hamilton is known locally as "Steeltown," with expansive industrial plants dominating the view from the main bridge that leads into the city. Hamilton has endured countless setbacks as the steel industry that drove its growth through much of 20th Century declined. Trump's decision to double steel and aluminum tariffs to a crippling 50 percent did not come as a shock to those who have spent decades in the industry. "Steel is like a roller-coaster," said Jake Lombardo, who retired after 38 years at Stelco, one of Hamilton's main plants. Lombardo's career spanned the era that saw automation and cheaper foreign product hollow out Hamilton's steel sector. He voiced a degree of understanding for Trump's efforts to shield US producers from external competition. "I'm not a Trump supporter, but one thing I like what he said, he wants to do things in-house. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that," Lombardo, 69, told AFP. "We should have been doing this a long time ago." Hamilton's steel industry was born in the early part of the last century, hitting its peak in the decades following World War II, when the main local union, United Steelworkers Local 1005, counted more than 12,000 members. That number has since fallen to about 650, said union president Ron Wells. Wells said he wasn't opposed to a future where Canadian producers serve Canadian demand and cross-border trade is reduced. But, like Lombardo, he believes Ottawa needs to create the environment that ensures that Canadian steelmakers thrive. "We've been saying that for, like years, if not decades," Wells told AFP. The union chief said he was encouraged by Prime Minister Mark Carney's pledge to counter Trump's trade war by boosting internal trade and ushering in an era of massive construction across Canada. Asked about the prospect that Hamilton could benefit from Carney's recent promise that his government would "build baby build," Wells said: "we applaud it." "It's better late than never." Carney on Wednesday called Trump's decision to double steel and aluminum tariffs "unjustified" and "illegal" and promised that Canada the largest supplier of foreign steel and aluminum to the United States will respond. But in the short term, Wells said there is cause for concern. Stelco, which was bought by the US steel producer Cleveland-Cliffs last year, had been sending about 30 percent of its output to the United States, Wells said. Those orders largely dried up when Trump imposed a blanket 25 percent tariff on all metal imports in March. But Stelco was still selling to Canadian clients who were making products subsequently sold to the United States, with the American importers absorbing the 25 percent tariff hit. At 50 percent, Wells voiced fear that business could vanish. "People are just pissed off that keeps changing his mind and he's playing chicken with the economy," Wells told AFP. "Our members want to see the tariffs situation get resolved. So go back to full production and we can share the wealth." The Canadian Steel Producers Association, an industry group, said Wednesday that "at a 25 per cent tariff rate, we saw significant layoffs, curtailed investments and a significant drop of shipments to the United States." "At a 50 per cent tariff rate, the US market is effectively closed to Canadian steel, leaving billions of dollars of Canadian steel without a market," it warned. Throughout Trump's trade war, Canadian workers in targeted sectors notably auto and metal have voiced frustration over the president's decision to harm a bilateral trade relationship widely seen as mutually beneficial. "We think they're picking on the wrong foe," Wells said. Tony Mclaughlin, who has worked for Stelco for 47 years, told AFP he "always thought we'd be exempt," from tariffs." "Is he trying to get a new trade agreement?" He asked. "Maybe that's the big plan." bs/nl

Abhishek to skip MEA meet; TMC slams Centre for refusing spl session
1 2 New Delhi/Kolkata: Trinamool national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee said he will not be attending the external affairs ministry meeting scheduled on Thursday and will instead write to EAM Jaishankar his take on the outcome of the delegation's trip. "We toured five countries in the past 15 days. On Thursday, the EAM will convene a meeting. But I will not be able to attend that. I have some pre-scheduled engagements. I was out of the country for some time. In the meantime, the bye-election for Kaliganj was announced. I have some work in my parliamentary area. I will be busy with that the next few days. I will inform the external affairs ministry about my opinion in writing. Once I inform the ministry, I will speak on that matter," Banerjee told reporters. This came on a day Trinamool MP Derek O'Brien lashed out at the Centre for "running away" from holding a special session of Parliament on Operation Sindoor . O'Brien made the remarks after it was announced that the monsoon session of Parliament would be held from July 21 to Aug 12. "All important matters" can be discussed in the session, Union minister Kiren Rijiju said, adding that every Parliament session was a "special session". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch xu hướng AUD/USD?
