This morning, news broke that Amazon and Paramount have both initiated layoff plans. Amazon is rumored (not 100% confirmed) to be laying off about 30,000 employees, which accounts for approximately 10% of its total workforce. Paramount has confirmed its first round of layoffs of about 1,000 people, with an expectation of potentially laying off another 2,000 in the future, totaling around 16%.

This indicates that the contraction of employment in large American companies may accelerate, and future unemployment rate data may begin to rise, with labor market indicators likely to weaken significantly. On the positive side, this will strengthen the Federal Reserve's rationale for continuing to cut interest rates, but on the negative side, the risks of economic slowdown and corporate profitability are rising simultaneously.
