Remote workers were laid off 35% more in 2023, according to an analysis of 2 million white-collar workers conducted by Live Data Technologies. The employment data provider found 10% of remote workers were laid off in 2023, compared to 7% of hybrid or in-office employees.
“When a hiring manager gets news they have to cut 10% of the staff, it’s easier to put someone on the list you don’t have a close personal relationship with,” Andy Challenger, senior vice president at Challenger, Gray & Christmas, told the Journal.
