Job cuts across the U.S. have intensified in November, particularly impacting tech and telecom sectors as AI disruption fuels workforce adjustments. Market anticipation for a potential Federal Reserve rate cut in December further adds to the economic uncertainty. Investors are closely watching how these dynamics will affect cryptocurrency values. 71,321 job cuts were announced in November alone, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, marking the highest number since November 2022.
