00:08This marks the highest monthly total since July 2020 and the most significant
00:11February reduction since 2009.
00:14Over one-third of the total layoffs were due to Elon Musk's efforts,

00:20Factors like the Department of Government Efficiencies actions,
00:22canceled contracts, and fear of trade wars contributed to this spike.
