Layoffs.fyi appears to show the tide is turning in the UK? : r/cscareerquestionsuk
Excerpt
If you stay on the “Companies w/ Layoffs” tab and filter by country to UK. You will see that the last reported companies with layoffs were 3 months ago (end of May). Obviously that don’t catch all layoffs, but you can still compare with previous time periods. The last time there were 3 months or greater of no UK companies with layoffs was between Jan and May 2021.
This looks much more optimistic than the US stats, where layoffs are having their worst month for a while. 2024 still looks very bad for the US. But 2024 looks much better for the UK. According to this the UK had
2020: 17 companies with layoffs
2021: 2 companies with layoffs
2022: 42 companies with layoffs
2023: 51 companies with layoffs
2024: 13 companies with layoffs
Again, this is obviously not comprehensive, but assuming it has maintained a consistent incomprehensiveness across the years it indicates the tide has turned.
