Texas is bracing for yet another round of job cuts, with more than 750 workers set to be laid off by the end of November.
From South Texas to North Texas, industries ranging from healthcare to manufacturing are feeling the impact of closures and restructuring, adding to what has already been a tough year for workers in the Lone Star State.
The mass layoffs come as companies continue to shift operations, restructure their workforce, integrating AI and deal with rising economic pressures.
Texas layoffs 2025
A major job cut is happening at Sunny Glen Children’s Home in Raymondville, which has been helping migrant children since 1936. The non-profit organisation, which gets federal funding, will lay off 424 workers.
This is due to a decrease in federal contracts for facilities like Sunny Glen. Chase Palmer, the Director of Sunny Glen, expressed regret over the cuts but reassured the community that the organisation is committed to continuing its work despite the challenges.
North Texas is also facing significant job losses. Hill & Smith Inc., a company that makes road safety products, announced it will close its Garland facility by November 21, laying off 46 workers.
The company is moving operations to California. In Fort Worth and Mesquite, Accelore Solutions, a delivery contractor for Amazon, will lay off 214 workers by November 1 as part of company restructuring.
Meanwhile, Dynasty Healthcare Group is closing Cottonwood Creek Healthcare Community in Richardson by December 1. This will result in 70 job losses.
Healthcare providers are facing funding cuts and a shift to more cost-effective care, contributing to the increase in job cuts.
Rising layoffs in Texas in 2025
Texas has witnessed a significant rise in layoffs this year, with over 854,000 job losses reported, a 10.2% increase compared to 2024. May 2025 was especially hard-hit, with 128,000 people losing their jobs.
Texas’ energy, technology, healthcare, and retail sectors have been particularly affected by layoffs. The energy sector has suffered due to fluctuating oil prices, with companies like ConocoPhillips cutting jobs. In tech, companies like Chewy in Dallas have also laid off workers due to market shifts, including the rise of AI.
