Most layoffs are announced as ranges or timelines. Here's the spread for the biggest programs.
Automotive suppliers filing for insolvency surged 31% YoY in 2024. Industry analysts predict a "wave of bankruptcies" in 2026.
Scroll through every layoff, closure, and insolvency event from 2024 to today.
Data scraped from Reuters, Bloomberg, Automotive News, Business Insider, Forbes, WardsAuto, Euronews, WSWS, and official company press releases using Firecrawl. Each event is verified against at least one primary source.
"Announced" = total jobs the company said it would cut.
"Materialized" = cuts confirmed as executed (people actually lost their jobs).
"Best case" = minimum if restructuring goes well.
"Worst case" = maximum if conditions worsen.
Aggregate figures (e.g., "60,000+ supplier jobs") are tracked separately and not double-counted with individual events. Last updated: March 4, 2026.
