此次席卷多行业的裁员潮中，首当其冲的是电商与科技巨头亚马逊、UPS快递公司、跨国化工企业陶氏 化学公司的员工。亚马逊计划通过重组裁减1.6万个岗位，UPS宣布最多裁员3万人。Challenger公司的报 告称，这些企业宣布裁员的主要原因包括合同流失、经济状况不佳等。 "今年1月的裁员总量异常高。"Challenger公司首席营收官安迪·查伦杰分析称，"大多数裁员计划是在 2025年年底制定的，表明雇主对2026年的经济前景并不乐观。" "本届美国政府的关税政策可不是开玩笑。其政策正在将全球经济推向衰退。"德国《莱茵-内卡尔报》 评论称，美国政府"缺乏足够的能力来维系繁荣与和平，所有人都为此承受了沉重代价"。 美国财经媒体CNBC报道截图 中国青年报客户端讯（中青报·中青网记者 王梓）据美国财经媒体CNBC报道，美国职业安置咨询公司 Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc.2月5日发布的报告显示，美国企业今年1月宣布的裁员人数达到10.8万 人，同比激增118%，创下自2009年经济衰退最严重时期以来的同期最高纪录。同时，企业招聘意向大 幅下降13%，为该公司开展相关调查以来最弱的1月 ...

尽管雇主们加紧制定裁员计划，但这一趋势尚未在官方政府数据中完全显现。 虽然周四的数据显示，截至1月31日当周，美国首次申领失业救济金人数经季节调整后总计23.1万人， 为12月初以来最高，但此次激增可能与席卷美国大部分地区的严重冬季风暴有关。长期趋势数据仍处于 2024年10月以来的最低水平。 近期，一些知名企业的裁员公告加剧了市场对劳动力市场遭受更广泛冲击的担忧。亚马逊 （Amazon）、联合包裹服务公司（UPS）和陶氏公司（DowInc.）均宣布了大规模裁员。从行业来看， 运输业1月裁员人数最多，主要受UPS计划裁员3万余人推动；科技业紧随其后，原因是亚马逊宣布裁减 1.6万个岗位（其中大部分为企业职能岗位）。 企业招聘计划同样疲软，1月招聘数量较2025年1月下降13%，较2025年12月暴跌49%。 数据显示，美国雇主1月宣布的裁员人数达108,435人，较去年同期激增118%，较2025年12月更是暴涨 205%。这一数字创下了2009年1月以来的最高纪录，彼时美国经济正处于大萧条后最严重衰退的最后几 个月。 与此同时，企业宣布的新招聘计划仅为5306人，同样创下Challenger, Gray & ...
