The Airtable table has a UX quirk that I find rage inducing.
When I click on a column header to sort the data, a "sorted by 1 field" dropdown opens and covers the top rows of the newly sorted data. Then if I click the x in the corner of said dropdown, it removes the filter (and doesn't close the dropdown). Clicking outside of the table doesn't close it either, since the table is embedded.
Looks like someone has resurrected F*cked Company :-) Brings back interesting memories of the period from 2000 to 2002.
More interested in how it works than what it does later with that mechanism.
Also, this is great but it'd be helpful to add "employees hired" (not necessarily by the same companies that are laying off) since March 2020 too to calculate the net impact instead of having a linear metric that just grows.

The chart gives an impression that most of these happened in Q1-2 of 2020 and everything has more or less settled since then. Or am I missing something?
This is only going to get worse with deteriorating market conditions.
Assuming these are engineers, product or designers, I wonder why they don't just replace them with cheaper remote workers overseas.
I find it quite alarming that over 15,000 people have been laid off in transport since 2020. That's a lot of people impacted.

Would the OP or someone else familiar with the site be able to provide more insight on the data? The site also allows users to submit layoffs so the data is crowdsourced too:
Does the rise in the layoff chart mean that it is now harder to raise money? If yes, then to what extent?
As a person actively applying in EU... the market reeks candidate desperation. Salaries remained constant or even decreased in numbers despite over 10% inflation. Zero flexibility on the employer side "need 5 years of SRE experience for SRE position, need 5 years of DevOps experience for DevOps position, etc". WTF is going on. With the perspective of mangling my brain on the "next cool" Angular stack I'll remain working on personal projects, thanks.
