Two major employers in North Texas—UPS and CarOffer, a CarGurus subsidiary—are cutting over 160 jobs, adding to a wave of layoffs hitting the state’s workforce.
At a Glance
- UPS eliminating 62 part-time positions at its Dallas facility
- Automation cited as reason for reduced staffing needs
- CarOffer, a CarGurus subsidiary, closing its Addison office
- Closure eliminates 101 jobs tied to the used-car marketplace
- Both moves highlight broader workforce shifts in logistics and tech
UPS Scales Back in Dallas
UPS confirmed it will lay off 62 part-time workers at its Dallas-area operations. The company cited expanded automation at the facility, reducing the need for manual package handling. While UPS emphasized efforts to relocate workers to other locations, union representatives expressed concern that not all employees will find comparable positions.
The Dallas cuts reflect a national trend in logistics, where companies are increasingly turning to automation to cut costs and increase efficiency. Industry experts say the shift is inevitable, but it risks leaving many part-time and entry-level workers without stable employment opportunities.
CarOffer Closure in Addison
In Addison, CarOffer, a subsidiary of the online auto platform CarGurus, announced it is shutting down its physical office. The closure will eliminate 101 jobs as the company moves to streamline operations and focus on its digital marketplace strategy.

Executives pointed to evolving consumer behavior in the auto sales market as a key factor in the decision. With more transactions shifting online, CarOffer said consolidating operations would help align costs with long-term strategy. However, the layoffs deal a blow to Addison’s local job market, particularly for workers specialized in auto sales support.
Broader Trends in Texas
The twin announcements add to a growing list of layoffs across Texas. Analysts note that while the state continues to see job growth in some sectors, others are shedding workers as automation, digital transformation, and shifting demand reshape employment patterns.
For affected workers, the layoffs underscore the challenges of navigating a labor market in transition. While opportunities exist in technology and logistics, many require retraining or relocation, hurdles that can be difficult for families.
Looking Ahead
Texas officials say they are monitoring the situation closely, with workforce development boards preparing retraining and placement programs. However, the concern remains that continued layoffs in logistics and technology could strain regional labor markets, particularly in suburban areas like Addison.
The cuts at UPS and CarOffer highlight a broader reality: even in strong state economies, corporate restructuring and automation are reshaping the job landscape, often at the expense of workers who lack access to new opportunities.
