The phrase to use is "Reduction of Force", or ROF. Employers know the meaning as described by Workforce Services.

Depending on the amount of space I'd simply put "Laid Off". Unlike being fired, being laid off means that your unemployment wasn't your fault. If you have enough space for a small explination keep limited to something like "Lack of Work", "Company Restructuring" or "Temporary Position".

For temporary jobs there are many things you can say.
1. It was a temporary job.
2. Well I still work there, but at the moment there is no work for me, hopefully next month, but I would really like a permanent job.

If you were truly laid off, and not fired; then just write laid off. All employers know what that means. If you were fired, then that is a different question. Then you have to get very creative on how you bennnnd the truth.

Laid off due to lack of work. This will also help if you are applying for unemployment while you are looking for a job.

Just put on your application that it was a company cutback. They will know that the company had to many people.
