Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) layoffs are coming to the company’s Sweden offices as it looks to reduce its headcount.

Insiders report that Ericsson has been planning for layoffs for some months now. However, the company had to complete negotiations with unions before making the cuts. Those negotiations are over, which is why the workforce reductions are going into effect.

What’s Behind the Ericsson Layoffs?

Ericsson is cutting jobs as it sees a decrease in demand in certain regions. That includes North America. This ties together with an economic slowdown affecting more than just this company.

Ericsson is joining a larger trend with its layoffs. Several companies are cutting jobs as they deal with inflation, rising interest rates in the U.S., and recession concerns. Tech companies are being hit especially hard by the current state of the economy.
