At the same time, the government wasn’t doing monetary easing, companies weren’t posting record profits, and everyone at least pretended that the market represented the fiscal reality of American citizens.
Ok so is the lesson here that there is no relationship between these two things
To add context to the layoffs figures, these headline grabbing layoffs from big tech companies are a tiny fraction of total layoffs, and even in good economic times it is totally normal for there to be 1.5-2.0 million layoffs every single month, nationwide.

Just another view by market cap growth among the current S&P 20. I have seen many friends got laid off from different fields. Meanwhile, just hope big tech could take more responsibility empowering others.
What is your point.
There is literally no actionable analysis of any kind contained in this data.
