**Over 100 Companies Across the U.S. Plan Layoffs This November**
More than a hundred companies across the United States are poised to lay off employees this November, impacting thousands of American workers just ahead of the holiday season.
### Why It Matters
Layoffs often serve as an indicator of how companies perceive current economic challenges. While some layoffs may be a response to economic headwinds, others could be driven by restructuring or efforts to maximize profits.
An August report from outplacement firm Challenger Gray & Christmas revealed that hundreds of thousands of layoffs have already occurred in 2025—many of which were related to federal workforce changes implemented during President Donald Trump’s administration.
### Understanding the WARN Act
The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires employers to provide a 60-day notice before mass layoffs. According to Legal Aid at Work, a mass layoff under the WARN Act is defined as:
– At least 50 employees laid off within a 30-day period, or
– One-third of a workforce laid off if the company has 500 or more employees, or
– Closure of an entire work site resulting in at least 50 layoffs within 30 days, regardless of company size.

### Expert Insights on Economic Uncertainty
Joanne Song McLaughlin, a labor economist at the University of Buffalo, told *Newsweek* that the “tremendous level of uncertainty in the economy” is a key reason why some companies may be opting to reduce their workforce.
> “The current economic uncertainty comes from volatility in trade and fiscal policies, and the government shutdown. We also experience underlying structural changes driven by AI, which I believe could have an interaction effect on the policy and political volatilities,” she explained.
She added that uncertainty makes it challenging for employers to plan ahead, leading many to reduce investment and employment.
Regarding future trends, McLaughlin noted:
> “It seems that significant trade policies are changing daily. In addition, we have the government shutdown, which we have no idea when it will end. The impact of the shutdown is not limited to government workers but has important ripple effects in the economy. The shutdown affects government programs like SNAP, which will also affect local grocery stores, for example.”
Robert Triest, an economist at Northeastern University, also spoke with *Newsweek*, highlighting tariffs as a factor:
> “Tariffs are increasing business costs and acting like a supply shock to the economy.”
This, he said, is causing some firms to scale back employment in anticipation of decreased sales.
### The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Policy Changes
Artificial intelligence is another contributing factor to layoffs. Triest added:
> “The spread of generative AI is allowing some firms to automate tasks, leading to increased productivity but also less need for workers.”
He also noted that the repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act has reduced demand for “green technology” products, such as electric vehicles.
### Impact on Workers and the Economy
The uncertain economic environment is also influencing how employees view their jobs. A recent report from employment website Monster highlighted evolving worker attitudes amid ongoing economic instability.
Robert Triest provided further insight:
> “Whether the trend accelerates or eases depends critically on the overall state of the economy. That is very difficult to predict right now, partly due to the lack of official data during the federal government shutdown, but also due to continued policy uncertainty and the unusual combination of macroeconomic factors that evolved prior to the shutdown.”
### What Happens Next?
During the week of September 20, approximately 180,992 Americans filed unemployment claims. However, more recent data is unavailable due to the federal government shutdown, which has now lasted over a month.
How the economy continues to react to the shutdown and other ongoing uncertainties remains to be seen.
