US DATA
- Challenger job cuts jumped an eye-catching 417% Y/Y in November to 76.8k, in part a factor of a low base from the 15k in Nov’21 but also a genuinely high number, far higher is normally the case for this time of year (first chart).
- Tech layoffs dominate, accounting for 52.8k of the 76.8k which drove a heavy regional bias - companies headquartered in California were 41.8k of the total.
- At risk of omitting the sector under most pressure, strip out tech and layoffs were at more typical 24.1k, sitting between Nov’21 and Nov’19 values, whilst continuing to sit a broadly similar distance above 2021 levels as has generally been the case since the summer (second chart).
- Going against this, initial claims partly reversed last week’s move higher as they dipped from 241k to 225k in the week to Nov 26, albeit remaining slightly above the 2019 average of 218k.
