LayoffAlert

LayoffAlert is a vital tool designed to track mass layoffs and plant closures across the United States by aggregating official WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act notices filed with state governments. Companies in the U.S. with over 100 employees are mandated to provide WARN notices at least 60 days before executing mass layoffs, ensuring workers receive advance notice of potential job losses. LayoffAlert compiles and organizes over 6,000 of these notices from 49 states into a single, user-friendly searchable database, impacting more than 561,000 employees. Users can search for layoff notices by company name, location, industry, or date, allowing them to stay informed about layoffs before they occur. Additionally, LayoffAlert offers email alerts when new WARN notices are filed, making it an essential resource for employees, job seekers, and industry analysts.
