A New Wave of Unexpected Layoffs Now Hits Tennessee

December 8, 2023

A new wave of unexpected layoffs now hits Tennessee as more businesses file WARN notices advising of upcoming job cuts.

Layoffs have increased across the nation, with employers in the United States employers announcing 45,510 cuts in November, a 24% increase from the 36,836 cuts announced in October.

Although layoffs are occurring nationwide, Tennessee is one of the states most impacted.

So far in 2023, more than 33,000 workers in Tennessee have been laid off.

This is the fifth highest of any state with a massive increase from 2022 when only 3,260 Tennessee workers were laid off.

While job losses mount, hiring opportunities are falling.

In November, employers announced plans to hire 15,566 workers for a year-to-date total of 775,501.

This figure is the lowest year-to-date total for announced hiring since 2015.

Below is a list of businesses who have advised of upcoming layoffs in Tennessee:

Nyrstar Tennessee Mines – Gordonsville LLC. 300 job cuts by 12/31.
Morgan Olson, LLC. 290 job cuts by 12/22.

Massive bank branches will now close in Florida according to the latest data from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

Between 2017 and 2021, 9% of all branches — almost 7,000 locations— shut their doors.

Florida had the fourth most closures of any state as banks continue to push customers to digital banking, according to CNBC.

“Clients use digital banking more than ever for their everyday financial needs, and come into financial centers for more complex transactions or discussions about their finances,” said Bank of America in a statement.

“So we have been adjusting our retail network where centers are located in close proximity to one another, or where client traffic has diminished significantly.”

In July, Wells Fargo laid off over 100 employees in Orlando’s consumer and small business banking division.

Despite the push to digital banking, many customers prefer to do their banking in a physical location.

There is a fear that closing so many branches can lead to ‘banking deserts’ and adversely impact lower income communities.
