Yes, the layoffs in the tech industry will have an impact on your current PERM application if you are in or are about to enter the required recruitment process. Given the massive layoffs within the tech sector, your job posting will likely draw a huge number of applicants, meaning the U.S. Department of Labor would deny your PERM application, which is required for EB-2 and EB-3 green cards. If your company does layoffs within 180 days of submitting a PERM application, you are required to notify and consider all laid-off workers for the job opening that is the subject of the PERM application.
