Abstract Technologies of the digital era have deeply impacted the world of work and several sectors such as the news industry. Despite significant changes in newsrooms worldwide, there is a research gap in labor and journalism. Besides, few studies concerning job cuts and layoffs approach the issue broadly, identifying how redundancies affect workers and force them to think about the future of their profession and career. This article aims to understand how laid off survivors and victims see the future of their profession and career in this complex scenario. For this qualitative and exploratory research, interviews were conducted with 18 journalists, in three focus groups, and an expert in the field. Findings demonstrate that experiencing an organizational downsizing represented a turning point (DELUCA and ROCHA-DE-OLIVEIRA, 2016) by evidencing that journalist’s career has become vulnerable in a context where job insecurity, hopelessness, precariousness and damaged personal ties mirror dilemmas and suffering. Some of the interviewees left journalism and most of the others either plan to leave or are not sure whether they will remain in the profession, taking responsibility for finding a way out. This article brings together micro and macro perspectives (ABBOTT, 1993), an approach rarely found in Brazilian studies in Administration, and intersects topics generally discussed separately: career, redundancy and labor relations. Moreover, it contributes to career studies by using the turning point perspective to analyze layoffs, which are generally centered on the experience and its negative impacts (VACLAVIK, PITHAN, AVILA et al., 2017). Finally, it expands the scope of analysis to an occupation outside the Administration field, whose academic production is predominantly endogenous.

In 1990, the unemployment rate of the United States stood at 5.6 percent. Since then there have been many significant fluctuations to this number - the 2008 financial crisis left millions of people without work, as did the COVID-19 pandemic. By the end of 2022 and throughout 2023, the unemployment rate came to 3.6 percent, the lowest rate seen for decades. However, 2024 saw an increase up to four percent. For monthly updates on unemployment in the United States visit either the monthly national unemployment rate here, or the monthly state unemployment rate here. Both are seasonally adjusted. UnemploymentUnemployment is defined as a situation when an employed person is laid off, fired or quits his work and is still actively looking for a job. Unemployment can be found even in the healthiest economies, and many economists consider an unemployment rate at or below five percent to mean there is 'full employment' within an economy. If former employed persons go back to school or leave the job to take care of children they are no longer part of the active labor force and therefore not counted among the unemployed. Unemployment can also be the effect of events that are not part of the normal dynamics of an economy. Layoffs can be the result of technological progress, for example when robots replace workers in automobile production. Sometimes unemployment is caused by job outsourcing, due to the fact that employers often search for cheap labor around the globe and not only domestically. In 2022, the tech sector in the U.S. experienced significant lay-offs amid growing economic uncertainty. In the fourth quarter of 2022, more than 70,000 workers were laid off, despite low unemployment nationwide. The unemployment rate in the United States varies from state to state. In 2021, California had the highest number of unemployed persons with 1.38 million out of work.
