Who's announcing layoffs right now.

New York, NY · Announced Aug 10, 2026 · Last day Oct 9, 2026

Below the 50-worker federal threshold — filed under state law, or covering one site of a larger action.

Where this data comes from. Notices are filed with state workforce agencies under the federal WARN Act and state equivalents, collected via Big Local News' open-source warn-scraper. Filings can be amended or rescinded after they're announced — spotted an error? Use Report an error on any notice and we'll check it against the state record. Who has to file. Federal WARN covers employers with 100+ employees, and is triggered by a site closing affecting 50+ people, or a layoff of 500+ — or 50–499 where that's at least a third of the site. It has three exceptions: a faltering company seeking capital, unforeseeable business circumstances, and natural disaster. Many states set lower thresholds of their own. So a layoff missing here isn't necessarily a layoff that didn't happen.
