Oracle’s workforce shrank by roughly 13% during fiscal year 2026, with the cloud computing giant shedding approximately 21,000 employees as it continues to reshape its business operations.
According to the company’s annual report, released Monday, Oracle employed about 141,000 workers as of May this year — down from approximately 162,000 in May 2025.
The company cited ongoing restructuring efforts as a key driver of the workforce reduction, with the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence across its internal operations playing a significant role in the changes.
Oracle did not provide an immediate response when contacted for comment on the workforce figures.
