Meta Platforms had 74,067 full-time employees as of December 2024, down from 67317 people in 2023. As of December 2023, more than 262,000 employees at tech companies worldwide were laid off throughout the year across more than one thousand companies. Facebook: how it all beganIn 2003, a sophomore at named Mark Zuckerberg hacked into protected areas of the university's computer network in order to find photos of other students. He then would pair two of them next to each other on a program called “Facemash” and ask users to choose the more attractive person. At the beginning of 2004, Zuckerberg launched “The Facebook,” a social network dedicated to Harvard students, which later grew to encompass Columbia, Yale and Stanford. The popularity of this new service sky-rocketed and in mid-2004, Zuckerberg interrupted his studies and moved his operation to Palo Alto, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley. By 2006, Facebook was open to the general public. In 2020, the company reported almost 86 billion U.S. dollars in revenue and a net income of 29.15 billion US dollars. It is also the most popular social network in the world, with 2.7 billion monthly active users as of December 2020. Facebook employee diversity criticismLike many other tech companies, Facebook has been criticized for having a diversity problem. As of June 2020, tech positions, as well as management roles in U.S. offices were overwhelmingly occupied by men. Furthermore, almost 41 percent of Facebook employees in the U.S. are White and only 3.9 percent are African-American, which has sparked concern regarding representation and equal opportunities. Around 63.2 percent of senior level positions are occupied by White employees and only 4.3 percent by Hispanic-Americans.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents median income data over a decade or more for males and females categorized by Total, Full-Time Year-Round (FT), and Part-Time (PT) employment in Meta. It showcases annual income, providing insights into gender-specific income distributions and the disparities between full-time and part-time work. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into gender-based pay disparity trends and explore the variations in income for male and female individuals.

Key observations: Insights from 2023

Based on our analysis ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates, we present the following observations: - All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Meta, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $40,000 for males and $25,893 for females.

These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in Meta. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 65 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 35%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the city of Meta.

Surprisingly, within the subset of full-time workers, women earn a higher income than men, earning 1.08 dollars for every dollar earned by men. This suggests that within full-time roles, womens median incomes significantly surpass mens, contrary to broader workforce trends.

Introduction

Employee Layoff Statistics: Employee layoffs are a prevalent cost-cutting strategy employed by companies during economic downturns or organizational restructuring. In 2024, the technology sector alone witnessed over 136,000 job losses across 422 companies, with major firms like Intel, Cisco, and IBM implementing significant workforce reductions. Intel, for instance, announced plans to lay off 15,000 employees, constituting more than 15% of its workforce, as part of a USD 10 billion cost-reduction initiative.

The financial implications of layoffs extend beyond severance packages. For example, when Meta Platforms Inc. laid off 11,000 employees in November 2022, it incurred approximately USD 975 million in severance costs, averaging over USD 88,000 per employee. Additionally, companies often face indirect costs such as decreased productivity among remaining staff, increased turnover, and higher unemployment insurance taxes.

In India, the impact of layoffs has been significant as well. By August 2024, at least 8,000 individuals had been affected by job cuts, with companies like Paytm announcing reductions of up to 3,500 employees. Furthermore, Reliance Industries reportedly reduced its workforce by 11%, equating to approximately 42,000 jobs, to enhance cost efficiency.

These figures underscore the widespread and multifaceted impact of layoffs on both organizations and employees, highlighting the importance of strategic planning and support mechanisms during such transitions. This article includes recent trends and facts from insights gathered in 2024 and 2025. Let's delve into key statistics to get a clearer picture of the topic.

The tech industry had a rough start to 2024. Technology companies worldwide saw a significant reduction in their workforce in the first quarter of 2024, with over 57 thousand employees being laid off. By the second quarter, layoffs impacted more than 43 thousand tech employees. In the final quarter of the year around 12 thousand employees were laid off. Layoffs impacting all global tech giants Layoffs in the global market escalated dramatically in the first quarter of 2023, when the sector saw a staggering record high of 167.6 thousand employees losing their jobs. Major tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, Meta, and IBM all contributed to this figure during this quarter. Amazon, in particular, conducted the most rounds of layoffs with the highest number of employees laid off among global tech giants. Industries most affected include the consumer, hardware, food, and healthcare sectors. Notable companies that have laid off a significant number of staff include Flink, Booking.com, Uber, PayPal, LinkedIn, and Peloton, among others. Overhiring led the trend, but will AI keep it going? Layoffs in the technology sector started following an overhiring spree during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, companies expanded their workforce to meet increased demand for digital services during lockdowns. However, as lockdowns ended, economic uncertainties persisted and companies reevaluated their strategies, layoffs became inevitable, resulting in a record number of 263 thousand laid off employees in the global tech sector by trhe end of 2022. Moreover, it is still unclear how advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) will impact layoff trends in the tech sector. AI-driven automation can replace manual tasks leading to workforce redundancies. Whether through chatbots handling customer inquiries or predictive algorithms optimizing supply chains, the pursuit of efficiency and cost savings may result in more tech industry layoffs in the future.
