In January 2025 Dow executives said the company was seeking $1 billion in cost savings and anticipated cutting about 1,500 jobs worldwide. And United Parcel Service said on Tuesday that it plans to cut up to 30,000 operational jobs this year. And like Dow, Pinterest said this week that it was cutting jobs partially due to increased usage of AI. That is occurring as some businesses reduce their workforces as they redirect money toward artificial intelligence, often baked into wider corporate restructuring.
