| T-Mobile USA, Inc. | Hamilton | 200 | Apr 16 |  |
| GXO | Shelby | 185 | Feb 19 | Apr 3 |

Only two of the ten carry an effective date in the state's report. The others are left blank there and here.

## How Tennessee publishes its notices

The [Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development](https://www.tn.gov/workforce/general-resources/major-publications0/major-publications-redirect/reports.html) publishes WARN notices as reports in its publications section, with the county for each notice and no city. The type field is blank for every 2026 notice, so the state does not say which are closures.

The report has gaps: 453 of its rows carry no notice date we can read, so they sit in the all-years list but in no yearly count. Every 2026 notice has a date, a county and a worker count. Our last read of the state's report was November 4, 2026, and its newest notice then was dated October 20.

[The Tennessee page](https://specstream.ai/data/layoffs/state/tennessee?utm_source=blog&utm_campaign=warn-2026) has every notice, county by county, from 2012 to this October.
