Review unemployment benefits, health coverage and local job-center support.

About This Data

Data on this site comes from WARN Act filings published by state workforce agencies. Where a state does not publish a usable list, filings come from a third-party compilation and are marked on each row. Filings are updated regularly but may not reflect same-day submissions. Coverage varies by state.

Those figures cannot be reconciled with a headline alone. Use the individual source records above to check locations and dates; filings can include amendments and do not prove that all announced layoffs occurred.

Recorded dates on these filings

What to check in your own notice and severance agreement.

Still employed and expecting a cut?

Severance is negotiable more often than people assume, and the leverage is largest before a notice lands. Financial Samurai's How To Engineer Your Layoff walks through how those conversations actually go, with real severance examples.
