Coverage vs. MOM Official Retrenchments

How this tracker's recorded job cuts compare with the Ministry of Manpower's official quarterly retrenchment figures.

This tracker captured 4.0% of the 3,830 retrenchments officially reported by MOM in Q1 2026 (155 jobs across 25 events).

QuarterTracker jobsMOM retrenchmentsCoverageSource
Q1 20254,174 (12)3,590116.3%MOM
Q2 2025882 (8)3,54024.9%MOM
Q3 2025168 (13)3,6704.6%MOM
Q4 20250 (13)3,6900.0%MOM
Q1 2026155 (25)3,8304.0%MOM

Caveat: MOM counts all retrenchments across the economy, including small and unreported ones, while this tracker only records layoffs that were publicly reported in the news. Tracker figures should therefore normally sit well below the official numbers. Occasionally a quarter can exceed 100% coverage because the tracker logs the total headcount announced by a company (which may include roles outside Singapore or span multiple quarters), whereas MOM counts only Singapore-based retrenchments in the quarter they occur. These numbers are indicative of coverage, not an exact like-for-like comparison.
