About 34,000 employees

UPS said it would cut about 20,000 jobs and close 73 buildings in 2025 as it handles less Amazon volume and trims costs. By October it said operational job cuts had reached about 34,000.

How we count

Each layoff is an announcement a company made or confirmed, with at least one source. Employee totals add the numbers as stated: “about”, “at least” and “up to” figures count as given, and layoffs without a number count toward companies and layoffs only. Headquarters filters use where a company is based, not where the cuts happen.
