Of those states, 24 had at least one October notice. The largest was a plant closure by Tyson Foods, Inc. in Hillsdale, Illinois: 2,495 workers, with notice given on October 15, 2026. California filed 101 of the 230, for 9,809 workers. Illinois had 15 notices but 4,835 workers, the second largest total, because the Tyson notice alone is more than half of it. The median October notice covers 51 workers. [The October layoff notices list](https://specstream.ai/data/layoffs/month/2026-10?utm_source=blog&utm_campaign=warn-2026) shows 239 rows, because it also includes New Jersey's notices by the month the state posted them.

The Maryland notice describes a two week layoff for maintenance. Netflix, Inc. gave two notices on October 16, 2026, one in Los Angeles County and one in Santa Clara County. Of the 198 October notices that print a type, 68 are closures and 123 are layoffs. Ten of the 32 states print no type at all. The most frequent filer was Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., with 8 notices in California that cover 15 workers in total. The week from October 26 to the month's last day carried 92 notices and 7,298 workers, more than any earlier week of October. ## October against the rest of 2026 | Month | Notices | Workers | | --- | --- | --- | | January | 322 | 29,085 | | February | 274 | 21,479 | | March | 274 | 17,251 | | April | 391 | 27,541 | | May | 229 | 22,802 | | June | 247 | 16,438 | | July | 203 | 18,100 | | August | 253 | 19,616 | | September | 245 | 28,375 | | October | 230 | 22,842 | October had fewer notices than September, 230 against 245, and fewer workers, 22,842 against 28,375. The median notice was 51 workers in both months. Of the months before it this year, only May, with 229, and July, with 203, had fewer notices. By workers, October sits behind January, September and April. ## What takes effect before the year ends Notices given in 2026 put 307 layoffs and closures on an effective date between November 10 and December 31, 2026. Together they cover 35,064 workers. Of all 2,700 notices given in 2026 in these states, 341 print no effective date, so they cannot be placed in this window.

Georgia and Pennsylvania print no notice date, and New Jersey prints only the month it posted a notice, so none of the three is in the counts above. Two October notices print no worker count; they count as notices and add nothing to the worker totals. Employer names are never merged, so a company that files under two spellings appears twice.
