You’re Fired! Now What? By Ivanhoe Broadcast News on July 21, 2026

Orlando, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Layoffs continue to make headlines and for many workers, the biggest fear isn’t the economy itself, it’s whether they could be next. The latest U.S. Labor Department data shows about one-point-seven million Americans were laid off or discharged in April, while employers across technology, transportation, healthcare, finance, and retail continue to restructure their workforces. At the same time, hiring has slowed, making job searches more competitive than they were just a few years ago. And while some of the biggest companies in the country are cutting jobs, experts say losing a position doesn’t have to derail a career. So, what should you do if that shocking moment happens to you? https://www.ivanhoe.com/?p=37348&preview=1&_ppp=d8b9022f69
