Based upon preliminary data from my Layoff Tracker, the worst day for layoffs last month was Monday. You could enjoy your weekend as no major layoffs were announced during Saturday and Sunday. However, things tended to get worse when everyone returned to work.

Out of 4 Mondays last month, one didn’t even have any layoff announcements. Other days of the week occurred 5 times and they were still beat by those 3 brutal Mondays.

Day Lay Offs
Monday 81,400
Tuesday 18,400
Wednesday 44,500
Thursday 21,000
Friday 14,650
Saturday 0
Sunday 0
Days occuring 5 times: Thursday, Friday, Saturday. All others occured 4 times in January.
