Laurene Powell Jobs' philanthropic organization, Emerson Collective, is laying off 10% of its staff—roughly 50 employees—as part of a restructuring effort. The group, known for its work in education, immigration, and social justice, says the cuts are meant to streamline operations and focus on long-term impact.

What This Mean: Layoffs at a high-profile organization like Emerson Collective signal broader challenges in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector, where even well-funded groups are tightening belts. For employees and grantees, it’s a reminder that even mission-driven work isn’t immune to financial pressures.
