You’re looking only at layoffs, but not at the demand side. Many companies—including Palantir and a long list of AI-driven firms—are actually desperate for new workers right now. The economy isn’t shrinking; it’s shifting. Some roles are going away, but new ones are being created faster than companies can hire for them.

This is not happening in any concerted effort, they may get UE from the State for a few weeks as many States like mine included only provide 12-20 weeks of about 1/3 what people were making barely enough to buy a handful of rounds of groceries with prices what they are if they are lucky. These days it may take 2-4 months if People are lucky to even get through the background checks, interviews, ghost jobs. Point being and this is a State issue but the Federals could lean on these States and force them to act much quicker in helping people.
