How Ohio publishes its notices

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services gives each notice a page of its own, and all 79 notices of 2026 link to theirs. A reader can check any one filing against the state's own page.

Some employer names start with "UPDATE", so search on the name without that word. In the city column, the most common value this year is "Unknown", with 7 notices and 49 workers, and Cincinnati is spelled two ways. Every 2026 notice prints a worker count, and 2 notices across all years carry no usable date.

We read the state's page on November 10, 2026, and the newest notice was dated November 9, 2026.

The 79 notices of 2026 and every earlier one we hold are on the Ohio WARN list.
