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.

ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered chatbot, is most used by companies in the technical and education industries, with over 200 companies using it in 2023. It is perhaps unsurprising that the technical field has embraced the use of ChatGPT, but it is interesting that so many educational institutes have begun to use it. While other industries do utilize the OpenAI-made chatbot, there are less than a 100 institutions and companies that use ChatGPT in other industries. This is especially true of agriculture, cultural, and legal industries, where only a single company is using ChatGPT in 2023.

United States US: Aerospace Industry: Trade Balance data was reported at 48.890 USD bn in 2021. This records an increase from the previous number of 37.029 USD bn for 2020. United States US: Aerospace Industry: Trade Balance data is updated yearly, averaging 39.437 USD bn from Dec 1990 (Median) to 2021, with 32 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 86.993 USD bn in 2016 and a record low of 20.681 USD bn in 1995. United States US: Aerospace Industry: Trade Balance data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The data is categorized under Global Database’s United States – Table US.OECD.MSTI: Trade Statistics: OECD Member: Annual.

For the United States, from 2021 onwards, changes to the US BERD survey questionnaire allowed for more exhaustive identification of acquisition costs for ‘identifiable intangible assets’ used for R&D. This has resulted in a substantial increase in reported R&D capital expenditure within BERD. In the business sector, the funds from the rest of the world previously included in the business-financed BERD, are available separately from 2008. From 2006 onwards, GOVERD includes state government intramural performance (most of which being financed by the federal government and state government own funds). From 2016 onwards, PNPERD data are based on a new R&D performer survey. In the higher education sector all fields of SSH are included from 2003 onwards.

Following a survey of federally-funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) in 2005, it was concluded that FFRDC R&D belongs in the government sector - rather than the sector of the FFRDC administrator, as had been reported in the past. R&D expenditures by FFRDCs were reclassified from the other three R&D performing sectors to the Government sector; previously published data were revised accordingly. Between 2003 and 2004, the method used to classify data by industry has been revised. This particularly affects the ISIC category “wholesale trade” and consequently the BERD for total services.

U.S. R&D data are generally comparable, but there are some areas of underestimation:

1. i) Up to 2008, Government sector R&D performance covers only federal government activities. That by State and local government establishments is excluded;
2. ii) Except for the Government and the Business Enterprise sectors, the R&D data exclude most capital expenditures. For the Business Enterprise sector, depreciation is reported in place of gross capital expenditures up to 2014. Higher education (and national total) data were revised back to 1998 due to an improved methodology that corrects for double-counting of R&D funds passed between institutions.

Breakdown by type of R&D (basic research, applied research, etc.) was also revised back to 1998 in the business enterprise and higher education sectors due to improved estimation procedures.

The methodology for estimating researchers was changed as of 1985. In the Government, Higher Education and PNP sectors the data since then refer to employed doctoral scientists and engineers who report their primary work activity as research, development or the management of R&D, plus, for the Higher Education sector, the number of full-time equivalent graduate students with research assistantships averaging an estimated 50 % of their time engaged in R&D activities. As of 1985 researchers in the Government sector exclude military personnel. As of 1987, Higher education R&D personnel also include those who report their primary work activity as design.

Due to lack of official data for the different employment sectors, the total researchers figure is an OECD estimate up to 2019. Comprehensive reporting of R&D personnel statistics by the United States has resumed with records available since 2020, reflecting the addition of official figures for the number of researchers and total R&D personnel for the higher education sector and the Private non-profit sector; as well as the number of researchers for the government sector. The new data revise downwards previous OECD estimates as the OECD extrapolation methods drawing on historical US data, required to produce a consistent OECD aggregate, appear to have previously overestimated the growth in the number of researchers in the higher education sector.

Pre-production development is excluded from Defence GBARD (in accordance with the Frascati Manual) as of 2000. 2009 GBARD data also includes the one time incremental R&D funding legislated in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Beginning with the 2000 GBARD data, budgets for capital expenditure – “R&D plant” in national terminology - are included. GBARD data for earlier years relate to budgets for current costs only.

In 2023, the highest occupational injury death rate in the United States was to be found with logging workers, with a rate of 98.9 deaths per 100,000 workers. Overall, the occupational injury death rate in the U.S. stood at 3.5 deaths per 100,000 workers.

Diversity in Tech Statistics: In today's tech-driven world, discussions about diversity in the technology sector have gained significant traction. Recent statistics shed light on the disparities and opportunities within this industry. According to data from various sources, including reports from leading tech companies and diversity advocacy groups, the lack of diversity remains a prominent issue. For example, studies reveal that only 25% of computing jobs in the United States are held by women, while Black and Hispanic individuals make up just 9% of the tech workforce combined. Additionally, research indicates that LGBTQ+ individuals are underrepresented in tech, with only 2.3% of tech workers identifying as LGBTQ+. Despite these challenges, there are promising signs of progress. Companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of diversity and inclusion initiatives, with some allocating significant resources to address these issues. For instance, tech giants like Google and Microsoft have committed millions of USD to diversity programs aimed at recruiting and retaining underrepresented talent. As discussions surrounding diversity in tech continue to evolve, understanding the statistical landscape is crucial in fostering meaningful change and creating a more inclusive industry for all. Editor’s Choice In 2021, 7.9% of the US labor force was employed in technology. Women hold only 26.7% of tech employment, while men hold 73.3% of these positions. White Americans hold 62.5% of the positions in the US tech sector. Asian Americans account for 20% of jobs, Latinx Americans 8%, and Black Americans 7%. 83.3% of tech executives in the US are white. Black Americans comprised 14% of the population in 2019 but held only 7% of tech employment. For the same position, at the same business, and with the same experience, women in tech are typically paid 3% less than men. The high-tech sector employs more men (64% against 52%), Asian Americans (14% compared to 5.8%), and white people (68.5% versus 63.5%) compared to other industries. The tech industry is urged to prioritize inclusion when hiring, mentoring, and retaining employees to bridge the digital skills gap. Black professionals only account for 4% of all tech workers despite being 13% of the US workforce. Hispanic professionals hold just 8% of all STEM jobs despite being 17% of the national workforce. Only 22% of workers in tech are ethnic minorities. Gender diversity in tech is low, with just 26% of jobs in computer-related sectors occupied by women. Companies with diverse teams have higher profitability, with those in the top quartile for gender diversity being 25% more likely to have above-average profitability. Every month, the tech industry adds about 9,600 jobs to the U.S. economy. Between May 2009 and May 2015, over 800,000 net STEM jobs were added to the U.S. economy. STEM jobs are expected to grow by another 8.9% between 2015 and 2024. The percentage of black and Hispanic employees at major tech companies is very low, making up just one to three percent of the tech workforce. Tech hiring relies heavily on poaching and incentives, creating an unsustainable ecosystem ripe for disruption. Recruiters have a significant role in disrupting the hiring process to support diversity and inclusion.
