I'm wondering if by "layoff season" you mean the first quarter, or the entire last 2 years?

January of last year had more than twice as many layoffs as any other month of the year, and the first quarter of '23 had nearly twice as many layoffs as the rest of the year combined. Not sure if we'll see the same trend this year, but it does seem like there have been an uncharacteristic number of layoffs this month already.



Consider the holidays in December as well. It's possible some layoffs were finalized but not enacted until after.
