Japanese Firms Offer Buyout Packages to More Workers
Tokyo, May 19 (Jiji Press)--Listed Japanese companies had offered buyout packages to 8,711 workers this year as of Thursday, nearly double the 4,654 workers in the same period of last year, a survey by Tokyo Shoko Research Ltd. showed.
The data suggests that the full-year figure in 2025 may surpass the 22,950 total in 2009 during the global financial crisis as U.S. President Donald Trump's high tariffs are expected to weigh on corporate earnings.
