More than 127,000 workers at U.S.-based tech companies lost their jobs in mass layoffs during 2025, according to the Crunchbase Tech Layoffs Tracker. The tally, maintained by Crunchbase News, counts workers affected by large-scale job cuts announced throughout the year.
The tracker also shows that the wave of reductions has not stopped with the new year. Layoffs have continued into 2026, with the tracker listing the latest companies to cut roles.
This data reflects a single source—Crunchbase's own tally—and may not capture every layoff at smaller firms or those not reported publicly. Still, it provides a concrete measure of the scale of job losses across the U.S. tech sector over the past year.
