最新报告显示，美国企业十月份宣布裁员人数超过15万，几乎是去年同期的三倍，创下自2003年以来十月份的最高纪录。
这一情况加剧了人们对就业市场健康状况的担忧。
分析指出，造成此次裁员潮的主要原因包括人工智能技术的广泛应用、消费者与企业支出减少以及企业经营成本上升。
这些因素共同导致许多公司，特别是科技和仓储行业，不得不削减开支并停止招聘。
今年以来，美国裁员总人数已超过一百万，同时企业招聘计划规模降至多年来的低点。
目前，失业人员寻找新工作的难度明显增加，这可能会进一步导致劳动力市场疲软。
尽管近期部分就业数据有所稳定，但专家预测，2025年的季节性招聘环境可能依然不够强劲。
亚马逊、Meta等多家知名企业均出现在十月的裁员名单中。
