Surviving the Emotional Toll of Job Loss

According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research – six million people lose or leave their jobs every month. In 2022, more than 93,000 jobs were cut from public & private tech companies in the U.S. In 2023, that number rose to 191,000 who were laid off in U.S.-based tech companies. And in 2024, 92,466 workers at tech companies have lost their jobs this year. No one is immune to losing their job. It can happen to anyone at any time. The consequences and emotional and mental toll, however, can leave a lasting impact.
