According to the latest report from the California Employment Development Department (EDD), many people across California are losing their jobs as companies shut down or reduce their workforce.

For instance, Pitney Bowes Inc. is closing two of its locations, which will result in 348 people losing their jobs in San Bernardino and San Joaquin counties starting in October 2024.

The tech industry is also facing big layoffs. Fastly, Inc., a company in San Francisco, is letting go of 52 employees, and Vir Biotechnology, Inc. plans to cut 141 jobs by the end of September 2024. Other industries like manufacturing and healthcare are also affected, with companies like Ajinomoto Bio-Pharma Services and Adventist Health Simi Valley announcing layoffs.
