August Layoffs Up from July, But Below June's Peak
FAQs
The summer is turning colder for many American workers. As the July jobs report shows slowing growth and rising unemployment,have filed notices to lay off employees in August 2025, potentially affecting thousands across the country, as per a report.The latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show job growth totaling justin July, falling well short of economists' expectations and underscoring growing concerns about the health of the US labor market as US president Donald Trump ramps up tariffs, as reported by CNBC. To make matters worse, the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2%, a figure in line with forecasts but worrying given that previous months' job totals were also revised downward by a combined 258,000, as per the CNBC report.ALSO READ: Trump's name reportedly redacted from Epstein files — here's what the FBI doesn't want you to see Meanwhile, WARNTracker.com, which monitors Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act filings, found that a total of 114 companies have notified of the potential upcoming layoffs in August, as reported by Newsweek.While some are minor, involving just a few employees, but others are far more severe, with companies like Microsoft, Georgia-Pacific, and Pixelle Specialty Solutions each expected to lay off between 501 and 1,000 workers, according to the report.ALSO READ: Atlassian boss Mike Cannon-Brookes axes 150 jobs via AI, then defends his private jet in brutal video message The layoffs span nearly every major sector of the economy, from software and pharmaceuticals to retail, food, health care, and logistics, as per the Newsweek report. Whether you're working at a hospital or a high-tech firm, no industry seems immune. Employees at big names like Microsoft, Wells Fargo, CVS Health, Target, Nordstrom, JP Morgan Chase, Amazon Fresh, Walmart, and McDonald's could be among those affected, according to the Newsweek report.Here is the full list, which is based on WARN notices, provided by WARNTracker.com:ALSO READ: Microsoft lays off thousands, makes $27 billion profit in Q2 — CEO Satya Nadella doubles down on AI mania While layoffs are rising, experts caution against linking them solely to a struggling economy, as per Newsweek. Some companies may be reducing staff to boost profits or adapt to shifting demand, according to the report. But larger macroeconomic forces are clearly at play, including global tariffs and domestic policy changes, as per the Newsweek report.Daniel Alpert, executive chairman of Westland Capital LLC, told Newsweek that the "jury's still out" regarding the impact of tariffs on American employers and workers/consumers, and highlighted that as soon as there is a substantial impact on unit sales, a recession will essentially be in effect, as reported by Newsweek.He explained that, "Conversely, in intermediate goods, when you have price rises in primary inputs that affect the ability of domestic manufacturers to manufacture without losing money, you're going to have layoffs and there's your recession. So, it really depends on what this all comes out to be in the end," as quoted by Newsweek.Alpert said that, "My general overall answer is what [Trump] wants to do, he can't do without tanking the economy. Can he do something less than what he is fulminating about? Yeah, there are things he can do to fine-tune the system that could even be beneficial. But that's not what's coming out of his mouth, or his pen, at the moment," as quoted in the report.If you're concerned about job security this month, it's worth checking whether your employer is on the WARN list. Layoffs are expected to increase from July's 95 employers to 114 in August, even if the number remains lower than June's 160, as per the Newsweek report.The range of layoffs varies, some companies are cutting just a handful of jobs, while others are slashing hundreds, according to the report. Some of the businesses affected include food distributors, healthcare providers, banks, tech firms, manufacturers, and logistics companies, according to the Newsweek report.As the US continues navigating uncertain economic condition, with tariffs, inflation, and consumer behavior all in flux, the job market may remain unpredictable in the months ahead, as per Newsweek.A mix of rising costs, global tariffs, and shifting strategies is prompting companies to reduce staff, as per the Newsweek report.Check WARNTracker.com, employers are required to file notices ahead of mass layoffs.

Broadcom launches Jericho chip to advance AI data center networks
Broadcom's silicon division launched its next-generation Jericho networking chip on Monday, which is designed to connect data centers over 60 miles (96.5 km) apart and speed artificial intelligence computation. The company's Jericho4 introduces and improves several features that increase the amount of networking traffic speeding across large networks that operate inside and between data centers. Building and deploying artificial intelligence has become more computationally intensive and requires stringing together thousands of graphics processors (GPUs). Cloud computing companies such as Microsoft and Amazon require faster, more sophisticated networking chips to ensure data moves efficiently. Security when transferring data beyond the physical walls of a data center is crucial for cloud companies because of the potential attacks that could intercept it ahead of reaching its destination. Broadcom's engineers designed the Jericho chips to be deployed at a massive scale, and a single system can encompass roughly 4,500 chips, according to Ram Velaga, senior vice president and general manager of Broadcom's Core Switching Group. To help mitigate issues around network congestion, the Jericho4 chips use the same high-bandwidth memory (HBM) designers such as Nvidia and AMD use for their AI processors. It's necessary because of the volume of data that needs to be stuffed into memory at any given moment of operation. "The switch is actually holding that traffic (in memory) till the congestion frees up," Velaga said. "It means you need to have a lot of memory on the chip." The longer the distance the data must travel from the chip to its destination, the more memory designers must include in the chip as well. In addition to performance improvements, the Jericho4 also beefs up security by encrypting data. Broadcom opted to use TSMC's three nanometer process for the Jericho4.

GitHub CEO warns developers to embrace AI or quit coding
GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke has issued a clear warning to software engineers, learn to work with AI or be prepared to exit the field. In a blog post titled "Developers, Reinvented," Dohmke said AI is already changing how software is built, and the change is so deep that the very role of a developer is being comments were based on conversations with 22 developers who are already heavily using AI in their work. According to him, their experiences prove that AI is no longer a distant idea but a day-to-day reality. Many of these developers started out sceptical of AI tools like GitHub Copilot, but over time, they began to rely on them as an integral part of their explained that these developers have evolved from traditional coders into what he called 'code enablers' or 'creative directors of code.' Instead of spending all their time typing out code, they now guide AI systems on what to build, set the context for the work, and carefully review the output to ensure it meets requirements. The change, he said, is less about doing less work and more about doing different work. According to him, adopting AI tools early can give developers an advantage rather than making them redundant. With AI, tasks that used to be too complex or time-consuming, such as large-scale code restructuring or coordinating multiple AI agents to build new features, are now becoming possible. Developers who understand how to integrate AI into these processes can take on more ambitious projects than Dohmke also cautioned that this transformation brings a challenge. Those who do not adapt risk being left behind. He said the pace of change is fast, and some developers estimate that AI could write up to 90 per cent of all code within the next two to five years. If that happens, the most valued skills will no longer be purely about writing code but will include system architecture, understanding how AI works, managing AI-generated tasks, and ensuring quality is not the first time the tech industry has sent such a message. Julia Liuson, a senior executive at Microsoft, which is GitHub's parent company, recently told employees that 'using AI is no longer optional.' While some have criticised this approach as a scare tactic to push adoption, it shows the urgency with which many tech leaders view the admitted that not everyone in the profession may find this change appealing. For some, the idea of managing AI systems instead of personally crafting code might feel less satisfying. But he argued that, in a way, developers have always been working at some level of abstraction using programming languages to tell computers what to do. The new model simply raises that level, with developers now instructing AI agents instead of directly controlling every also highlighted that this change should not be seen as reducing the worth of a developer's work. Instead, it expands what's possible. By using AI as a collaborator, developers can move faster, aim higher, and tackle challenges that once seemed impossible.- Ends
