4. Due to all the court halts

I don't think some of the numbers that were at least "announced" have happened yet or have been reflected yet.

E.g., there were a pile of feds that were given that idiot and illegal "fork in the road" mess that allowed them to "remain on the job but on administrative leave" until September. So they are not "gone" off the books yet (unless they retired or resigned). There were also RIFs that are on hold and/or that happened but were rescinded and people were called back.

But you do have private industry - particularly the tech sector - announcing all kinds of layoffs as they prepare for AI, and that has only recently started happening. You also have some small businesses starting to buckle under the weight of the tariffs - particularly those that relied heavily on Chinese imports.
