How do I explain a layoff in interviews? - what worked for you?

My whole team was cut and I want to say it calmly. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I do not want to blame the company. Do you mention numbers?

Say it plainly and move on to what you can do. Interviewers usually move on if you do.

If a company has been in the news for layoffs, you can mention that. Often the interviewer already knows.
