Its file mixes WARN notices with other rows, and our list keeps only the rows the state marks as WARN notices. Illinois prints an industry for every notice. Every 2026 notice also has a city and a worker count. The county cell is less tidy: the Bloomington notice from Ideal US Talent Systems reads "Not Applicable" there. One employer name appears in two spellings, Illinois Central School Bus, and we count its notices together. Our read of the state's file is from November 10, 2026, one day after its newest notice, dated November 9, 2026. The [Illinois WARN list](https://specstream.ai/data/layoffs/state/illinois?utm_source=blog&utm_campaign=warn-2026) has every one of the 112, and the 4,897 notices around them. ## More from the blog [Every post](https://specstream.ai/blog.md) [![Alabama WARN notices 2026: 31 layoffs, 2,717 workers so far](https://specstream.ai/blog/covers/alabama-warn-layoff-notices-2026.jpg) ### Alabama WARN notices 2026: 31 layoffs, 2,717 workers so far Alabama has 31 WARN notices for 2,717 workers in 2026, the latest filed November 2 Nov 10, 2026 · SpecStream · 3 min read](https://specstream.ai/blog/alabama-warn-layoff-notices-2026.md)[![Arizona WARN notices 2026: 50 layoffs, 4,930 workers so far](https://specstream.ai/blog/covers/arizona-warn-layoff-notices-2026.jpg) ### Arizona WARN notices 2026: 50 layoffs, 4,930 workers so far Arizona has 50 WARN notices for 4,930 workers in 2026, the latest filed October 29 Nov 10, 2026 · SpecStream · 3 min read](https://specstream.ai/blog/arizona-warn-layoff-notices-2026.md)[![California WARN notices 2026: 1,241 layoffs, 68,459 workers](https://specstream.ai/blog/covers/california-warn-layoff-notices-2026.jpg) ### California WARN notices 2026: 1,241 layoffs, 68,459 workers California logged 1,241 WARN notices for 68,459 workers through November 4, 2026 Nov 10, 2026 · SpecStream · 3 min read](https://specstream.ai/blog/california-warn-layoff-notices-2026.md)
