Layoffs in November 2026: Angi Cuts 300 Jobs, Block Cuts Again and Fiserv Reports 3,000 — What Workers Should Do Next
November 2026 has brought a fresh round of layoff headlines in the United States, just weeks before the holidays. Angi cut about 300 roles, Block confirmed another round of cuts, and Fiserv was reported to have cut around 3,000 employees and contractors — all in the first week of the month. They follow Canva and Squarespace, which announced their own cuts days earlier.
If you work in tech, home services or financial technology, here is what is confirmed, what is only reported, and what to do next if your job is affected.
Quick answer: who announced layoffs in November 2026?
Angi cut approximately 300 roles, disclosed in an SEC filing on November 3, 2026. Block confirmed more job cuts in November but has not publicly said how many people are affected. Fiserv was reported to have cut about 3,000 employees and contractors in a November 5 roundup, a figure that has not been confirmed by the company. Canva said 22% of its staff — 1,271 people — would be laid off or relocated on November 3, and Squarespace confirmed about 300 cuts, roughly 19% of its workforce, on November 2. Outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas counted 617,189 announced US job cuts through October 2026, with the tech industry leading at 171,501.
Angi axes 300 positions as revenue falls
Angi Inc., which runs the home-services marketplace Angi (formerly Angi's List), announced the cuts in a Form 8-K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2026, alongside its third-quarter results. Revenue declined 9% year over year. The company said it was reducing its global workforce by approximately 300 roles to "increase focus and organizational velocity."
Angi connects homeowners with contractors for repairs and renovations, and the cut is part of a broader restructuring as the company tries to return to growth.
Block cuts more jobs after its 4,000-person AI push
Block Inc., Jack Dorsey's payments company, has confirmed another round of layoffs in November 2026 — but unlike the firm figure earlier this year, it has not publicly said how many employees will be let go this time. Earlier in 2026, Block openly eliminated 4,000 employees as part of an AI-driven restructuring.
The new cuts show that even companies that already restructured once this year are still trimming teams as they push automation deeper into their operations.
Fiserv: about 3,000 reported cuts — what we know and what we do not
Fiserv, a major provider of payments and financial-technology infrastructure, appeared in a November 5 layoff roundup reporting approximately 3,000 employee and contractor job cuts under new leadership. That figure should be read carefully: it includes contractors, and the available reporting does not establish the precise US share or the effective dates. Treat it as reported, not confirmed, until Fiserv or a regulator discloses more.
Canva and Squarespace: the cuts announced days earlier
On November 3, design-software giant Canva announced "significant changes" to how the company is organized. The changes mean 22% of its staff — 1,271 individuals — will either be relocated or let go. On November 2, website builder Squarespace confirmed it would lay off about 300 employees, roughly 19% of its 1,800-strong workforce, according to The Verge.
Amazon also filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notice (WARN) with Washington state in November, disclosing that about 95 employees based in the state would be separated. Amazon said the WARN layoffs are part of a round previously reported in October, and the company has laid off more than 30,000 employees over the past year.

The bigger picture: 617,189 cuts so far in 2026
According to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, US employers announced 617,189 job cuts through October 2026. The tech industry has led layoff announcements for the year with 171,501 positions, even though October's tech cuts of 5,576 were the sector's lowest monthly total of the year. October's total announced cuts across all industries were 43,994 — down 71% from October 2025.
At the same time, Reuters reported on November 5 that US weekly unemployment claims were at historically low levels. The two facts can both be true: layoffs are concentrated in specific companies and sectors, while the broader labor market is still absorbing workers. The US economy added 165,000 jobs in October 2026, with the unemployment rate at 4.1%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report released November 6.
What to do if you were laid off: 7 steps
1. File for unemployment right away. Apply through your state's unemployment office — benefits start from your filing date, not your last day. 2. Read your severance and WARN notice carefully. Check the effective date, severance pay, and whether signing a release is required. 3. Protect your health coverage. Ask HR about COBRA, and compare it with a marketplace plan at healthcare.gov. 4. Update your resume the same week. Use numbers and results, not just duties — see our guide on how to write a resume in 2026. 5. Target employers that are hiring now. Amazon is hiring 300,000 seasonal workers and UPS, USPS and FedEx are hiring for peak season. 6. Ask for references before you leave. A written recommendation from your manager is far easier to get now than in three months. 7. Do not pay anyone to find you a job. A legitimate employer never charges you to apply — if a "recruiter" asks for money or gift cards, it is a scam.
Workers in tech should also watch for current openings at companies still hiring this month — several funded startups and large employers added roles in the same week the cuts were announced.
Frequently asked questions
Are the Fiserv layoffs confirmed?
No. The figure of about 3,000 employee and contractor cuts comes from a November 5 layoff roundup, not from a Fiserv announcement or SEC filing. It includes contractors, and the US share and effective dates are not established.
How many jobs has the tech industry cut in 2026?
Through October 2026, the tech industry led all sectors with 171,501 announced job cuts, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Total announced US cuts across all industries reached 617,189 in the same period.
Is Amazon laying off workers too?
Yes, in a smaller and separate action: Amazon filed a Washington WARN notice in November covering about 95 employees, part of a round first reported in October. Amazon has laid off more than 30,000 employees over the past year, even as it hires 300,000 seasonal workers for the holidays.
Does a layoff mean the company is failing?
Not necessarily. Angi cited focus and velocity, Block cited its AI push, and Canva framed its move as a reorganization. Many 2026 cuts are restructuring decisions, not closures — which is why the same companies sometimes hire in other teams at the same time.
Where can I find jobs that are hiring right now?
Warehouse and logistics employers are hiring at scale for peak season, hospitals are adding nurses, and several funded startups posted new roles in November. Our warehouse jobs guide and remote jobs with paid training list are good places to start.
Should I wait until January to job hunt?
No. November is peak hiring season for retail, logistics and warehouses, and many employers want roles filled before the new year. Applying now puts you ahead of the January rush.
