Show Notes

This week on Retirement Results, Ford and Sam dive into the wave of layoffs hitting companies across the United States this year — from tech and manufacturing to financial services, retail, and transportation. With economic uncertainty lingering and several major employers reducing headcount this year, many Americans are wondering what they should do if they’ve already been laid off or fear they may be next.

Ford and Sam break down the latest economic data, explain why these layoffs are happening, and provide a clear set of steps workers can take immediately if they’ve recently lost their job. They also discuss how a smart financial plan can help shield families from financial shocks during uncertain times.

Whether you’re currently employed, recently laid off, or simply want a stronger plan in place, Ford and Sam share actionable guidance to help you stay confident, informed, and financially secure.
