Mass layoffs are in store for 2024, and it might end up affecting nearly half of companies, according to a new poll.
That's the latest information from a Resume Builder survey, based on responses from more than 900 companies this month. Resume Builder is a professional platform that allows users to create resumes in just a few steps.
In the survey, nearly four in 10 companies said they are likely to have layoffs in 2024, prompting increased fears of a recession around the corner. More than half of companies also said they plan to implement a hiring freeze in 2024.
When asked why the companies were engaging in the layoffs, half said the anticipation of a recession was a reason. Meanwhile, a little less, four in 10 said they are going to lay off employees and replace workers with artificial intelligence (AI).
The news comes as Google is reportedly gearing up to lay off 300,000 employees in its ad sales units in favor of AI ad tech.
In 2023, 65 percent of business leaders said their companies already had layoffs, with 25 percent saying they laid off 30 percent or more of the workforce.
In 2024, substantial numbers of the workforce may be let go as well, as 22 percent of the companies who plan layoffs in the new year said 30 percent or more of their staff would be fired.

Our team has been fortunate. We have offshore Indians and they have been, for the most part, stellar.
Jobs are to be given to the invaders flooding our country.
>>Meanwhile the Disastrous Joe Biden Administration continues to destroy America<<
And America continues to accept his candidacy for the 2024 presidential position.
Don’t blame Biden — blame America.
Some nations delight in being stupid.
I blame 1/2 of Americans too
Those that believed in the Lying Kenyan really accelerated the downfall.
But then, we saw the true side of George too.
Sounds like they are snickering and rubbing thier hands together in glee
Financial media sites tell me this is not true. The stock market is reaching record highs and the housing market is still going gang-busters. Thus the economy is doing great. Anyone saying differently is just ignorant about how the economy works. Any company that says they plan to lay off workers is obviously lying.
Yeah that blew my mind! And here I thought they had a “google” (1x10^100) of employees. I thought that was why they are called “google”. Oh maybe it’s because they have a google bucks, that mist be what it is.
That ‘300,000’ figure for google has been changed to ‘30,000’.
Google is big, but not big enough to be able to lay off 300,000 people.
All in all, the economic future for the planet is looking bleak, regardless.
