Polymarket's "Tech Layoffs Up or Down in 2026?" market shows 81-82% odds on layoffs rising, with $26,000 in volume. Resolution uses FRED's information-sector layoffs data, with 447,000 in 2025 as the baseline. Trader consensus reflects ongoing AI-led restructuring, including Oracle starting fresh cuts after its workforce already fell 21,000 last fiscal year.
