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.

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. FAQs Why are so many companies laying off workers in August 2025? A mix of rising costs, global tariffs, and shifting strategies is prompting companies to reduce staff, as per the Newsweek report.

List of Companies Laying Off Employees in August
Thousands of employees across various industries are expected to be laid off in August. Companies are required to send out a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notice before implementing mass layoffs. A total of 114 companies are anticipated to cut workers, according to Layoffs may not directly correlate to the current economic climate, as some companies strive to maximize profits at the behest of the broader workforce. Others attempt to better fulfill demand. The United States economy is responding to governmental actions, including widespread tariffs on countries worldwide and reactions from myriad industries, including manufacturing. The layoffs expected this month may indicate a still-turbulent economy and lack of clarity within the business sector, with the layoff outlook showing an increase compared to the roughly 95 employers that laid off workers in July. It's a smaller number overall compared to the roughly 160 companies that laid off workers in June. The layoffs will affect multiple industries, including retail, software, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, health care, package delivery and more. Employee layoffs vary by company and location. Some are slated to lay off between one and 25 employees. Other actions are more drastic, including Microsoft, Georgia-Pacific and Pixelle Specialty Solutions, each projected to lay off between 501 and 1,000 workers.

As Trump's suspension of "reciprocal tariffs" ends Friday, most countries unsuccessful in securing a trade deal with the U.S. will see their rates revert to the levels announced on April 2. The 90-day tariff pause on China is due to end on August 12, with no indications of a further extension.

Truck maker plans to layoff 2,000 workers in the US, Mexico
Daimler Truck North America plans to temporarily lay off 2,000 employees from five facilities in the U.S. and Mexico amid weak market demand, the company said. The layoffs, which will be effective Friday, include two facilities near Charlotte, as well as factories in Detroit, Portland, and Saltillo, Mexico. Each site will experience different impacts based on local business needs, Daimler officials said. 'As we navigate a challenging economic environment, we've seen a notable slowdown in new truck orders, particularly in our medium-duty, on-highway, and electric vehicle segments,' Daimler Truck North America spokesman Andrew Johnson told FreightWaves in an email. 'To align with current market conditions, we've made the tough decision to implement workforce reductions across several facilities.' The layoffs in North Carolina include 546 employees from a manufacturing plant in Mount Holly, and 27 workers from a components and logistics site in Gastonia, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice. The job cuts include truck assemblers, painters, supervisors, material handlers, office supervisors, technicians, and logistics staff. The lay offs are expected to be temporary, but do not have a return date yet. Portland, Oregon-based Daimler Truck North America employs 29,200 people, according to its website. Daimler Truck North America operates manufacturing plants in Cleveland, Gastonia, High Point, and Mount Holly, North Carolina; Gaffney, South Carolina; Redford, Michigan; and Saltillo and Santiago, Mexico. Daimler Truck North America is a subsidiary of Germany-based Daimler Truck AG. The company's brands include Freightliner, Western Star, Mercedes-Benz, Fuso, BharatBenz and Rizon.

Huge shipping company closes facilities, lays off 100s
The shipping industry has battled through the Great Freight Recession over the last three years, with some companies downsizing and others disappearing from the landscape. Shipping, trucking, and logistics companies have suffered through a bad economy, decline in demand, low freight rates, rising costs of labor, fuel, and insurance, and fallout from the Covid pandemic, which created a glut of trucks and drivers in the U.S. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Financial distress from these economic issues forced companies into out-of-court restructurings, bankruptcy filings, asset sales, and business closures. Related: Major parcel shipping company closes down, no bankruptcy Remarkably, several companies were able to close down or downsize their businesses without filing for bankruptcy. LTI Trucking, which operated with 250 drivers, 300 tractors, and 575 trailers, shut down its operations on April 2, 2025 without filing for bankruptcy protection or giving a reason for closing. LTI was a major shipper of products for AB InBev, KraftHeinz, Vlasic, Hershey's, Nestle, Tyson, Hillshire Farm, Kroger, Hostess, and Sara Lee. Davis Express Inc., which had 160 trucks and 140 drivers, shut down its business permanently and did not file for bankruptcy, after making its final deliveries on April 23 and returning all trucks to its terminal by April 30. The company's owner said the company, which operated in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, had been unprofitable since 2023, and he did not expect to see improvement in 2025. All employees were paid and received benefits through their June 15 pay period, the company said. United Parcel Service in April 2025 said it will eliminate 20,000 workers and close 73 leased and owned buildings in 2025, after deciding to reduce the number of packages it will deliver for Amazon. UPS already cut 12,000 employees worldwide in 2024. The company blamed declining consumer demand driven by macroeconomic uncertainty from the threat of tariffs for its economic issues. The company also has no plans to file for bankruptcy. And now, giant shipping company FedEx Corp revealed that it will close its Omaha, Neb., and Greensboro, N.C., facilities and lay off 480 employees, including 102 and 164 employees at those locations, respectively, according to Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notices. Related: Bankrupt essential retail brand closing more stores, more to come FedEx said in a letter to the Nebraska Department of Labor that it will relocate the majority of its Omaha business within 50 miles of the closed facility. It said that employees impacted by the closure and relocation are not part of or affiliated with any union, and no bumping rights are available.

The company also revealed in a WARN notice that it will lay off 84 employees at its Des Moines, Iowa, facility and lay off another 131 workers at its Garland and Plano, Texas, locations. In notifications sent to the Nebraska Department of Labor, North Carolina Department of Commerce, and Iowa Workforce Development on June 30, FedEx said the closures and layoffs were related to its Network 2.0 multi-year network transformation announced in 2022 to improve pickup, transport, and delivery of packages. It also notified the Texas Workforce Commission. Related: Iconic retail chain closing over 100 stores in bankruptcy The Arena Media Brands, LLC THESTREET is a registered trademark of TheStreet, Inc.
