A state's list page also counts a notice that prints only an effective date, so it can show a few more 2026 notices than this table. Colorado's page shows 48, against 46 here. Across all states, 37 notices print no worker count; they are left out of the worker totals and the median.

What stands out

• April had the most notices. 391 were given in April, ahead of 322 in January and 274 in each of February and March. January had the most workers, 29,085, and September came close with 28,375 from only 245 notices.
• Washington's largest notices came in late summer. Five of the 25 largest notices are from Washington and were given between August 21 and September 28: Gebbers Farms, Etal, Legendary Fruit Co, FirstFruits, LLC, Borton & Sons, Inc. and Blue Cascade Orchards. Their effective dates fall between November 8 and November 25, 2026.
• Washington has more workers on notice than New York with fewer notices. Washington's 135 notices cover 28,705 workers. New York's 225 cover 13,294. California leads both counts, with 1,241 notices and 68,459 workers.
• Some employers file again and again in one state. Knight Facilities Management, Inc. has 49 notices in New York. Sentinel Transportation, LLC in California and CNH Industrial America LLC in Iowa have 24 each, and Blue Shield of California and Wells Fargo in Iowa have 19 each.
• Meta Platforms filed in two states on one day. On May 22, 2026 it gave notice for 2,212 workers in San Mateo County, California and 1,395 in King County, Washington, both effective July 22.
• Closures are 926 of the 2,282 notices that print a type. Another 1,295 are layoffs. 368 notices come from states whose lists print no type, so they sit outside both counts.
• The median notice covers 46 workers.

Where the numbers come from

Every state labor agency posts its own WARN list, in its own columns. Some print a city, some a county, some both. Types differ too: Illinois writes "Plant Closure" and "Mass Layoff", California writes "Layoff Permanent".

We read each state's list as the agency publishes it. Employer names stay as the state printed them, notes and all. A name is never merged across states, so Tyson Foods shows up as "Tyson Foods, Inc." in Illinois and as "Tyson Foods, Inc (Amarillo B-Shift Operations) Updated" in Texas, two separate rows.

The lists were read on November 10, 2026, except Tennessee's, which was read on November 4. Tennessee's 49 notices are as of that day.

The layoff notices list has all 2,700, and every older notice back to 1988.
