Industry-wide layoffs continue, but everyone isn’t equally at risk.
They’re laying off people and trying to reduce their headcount, which means they’re also not planning to hire en masse in the near future, so they are likely to do layoffs in the recruiting and HR department. Marketing is also always more likely to see layoffs during recessions compared to departments that are revenue-generating.
