Layoffs in 2026
Two separate counts. They overlap, so they are not added together.
Latest layoffs
Company announcements, SEC disclosures, and state layoff notices of 50 or more workers.
U.S. layoff activity
Workers named in layoff notices that employers file with state agencies under the WARN Act. Notices usually cover layoffs of 50 or more people at one site.

Breakdowns
For the selected reporting period.
Severity groups states by the number of workers named in notices during the period. Select a state to filter the filings table. Hatched states do not publish notices in this dataset.
Companies without a known industry are left out. Select a bar to filter the filings table.
Layoffs disclosed in SEC filings or reported by news outlets. These often span many sites or countries and may never appear as a state notice.
Layoff outlook through June 2027
What is already on file, what companies have said, and a modeled estimate of new notices. Estimates are uncertain and are labeled as such throughout.

Companies with current signals
- Scheduled
- A filed layoff notice has an effective date that has not passed yet. This is a reported fact, not a prediction.
- Elevated
- Several warning signs in the records. A Firmscope estimate, not a probability of layoffs.
- Watch
- One warning sign in the records. Worth asking about in an interview, not a conclusion.

Methodology and limitations
Where Firmscope's information comes from, what each label means, and what the data cannot tell you.
Sources
Layoff notices filed with state labor agencies, compiled by Big Local News at Stanford.
Filing history, 8-K items, and financial statements as companies reported them in XBRL. Free public data from the SEC.
Company layoff announcements reported by news outlets. Each one links to its article.
Parent companies from GLEIF and Wikidata, used to group subsidiaries with their parent.
Labels
- Reported
- Taken directly from a filing or an article, with its date and source.
- Modeled
- A Firmscope estimate. Shown separately from records and never presented as an event.
- Scheduled
- A filed layoff notice has an effective date that has not passed.
- Elevated
- Several warning signs in a company's records. Not a probability of layoffs.
- Watch
- One warning sign in a company's records.
- Workers affected
- The number named in a notice or announcement. Final numbers can differ.
- Effective date
- The first separation date listed in a notice, when the state publishes it.
- Calculated
- A figure derived from reported numbers, such as free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital spending) or a margin.
Limitations
- WARN notices do not represent all US layoffs. Smaller layoffs, remote roles, and many private companies are not covered, and coverage varies by state.
- Announcements and state notices often describe the same layoff, so Firmscope shows them side by side rather than adding them together.
- A company with no records is not necessarily stable.
- Financial figures are shown as reported to the SEC. Private and many foreign companies have none.
- Estimates assume recent conditions continue and are not predictions about any one company.
- Firmscope is not legal, financial, or career advice.
