September tech led US cuts at about 11k jobs, led by Uber’s 3,300 plus smaller rounds at Amazon, Oracle, Microsoft, Workday and others. Global tech YTD already exceeded full-year 2025 totals as firms restructure for AI. Early October is quieter so far, with Amazon under 1k, HubSpot at 660 and FICO about 15%. Overall US announcements hit a multi-year September low, but white-collar corporate roles remain under pressure.
