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.
Across 1 filings with usable paired dates, the median recorded gap is 62 days. This is date arithmetic, not a finding about notice received by workers or legal compliance. Source definitions, coverage and exceptions matter.
