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 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 approximately 138 employers have filed WARN notices indicating plans to implement layoffs next 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.

Some companies reduce their workforce to boost profits, while others restructure to better meet consumer 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."
