Plenty of evidence indicates that employers today are leerier of overhiring than they were a year ago. But new data suggests that organizations might be even more fearful when it comes to cutting staff. So far this year, an average of 1.6 million workers have been laid off per month, according to government data released last week. Compare that with the 1.9 million per month laid off in 2019, which many experts thought was a very good year for both job seekers and employees.
