U.S.-based employers announced 36,836 cuts in October, a 22% decrease from the 47,457 cuts announced one month prior. It is 9% higher than the 33,843 cuts announced in the same month last year. <blockquote>“Job cut plans have slowed significantly since the first half of the year, and consumers have continued to spend, even in the face of high inflation. Pandemic savings and higher wages have gotten many workers through economic uncertainty,” said Andy Challenger, labor expert and Senior Vice President of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.</blockquote>
