The global job market in 2025 is witnessing another wave of workforce restructuring, with several multinational corporations announcing layoffs across different sectors. HR experts believe this trend is driven by a combination of automation, cost optimization, and shifts in global demand. Companies are rethinking workforce strategies, focusing on leaner teams and increased use of AI-powered tools to reduce dependency on large-scale manpower.
