Employer WARN roster
One row per employer with recorded WARN Act mass-layoff or plant-closing notices in this dataset: notice count, workers affected, first/latest notice dates, primary state, and primary industry. Same aggregates the employer pages render, never a richer unpublished cut.

This page is the productized citability surface: live employer-roster CSV and JSON downloads, employer/state/industry embed widgets at /embed, and a watchlist RSS feed at /tools/watchlist-feed.xml, all under CC BY 4.0 with attribution by link. No pricing page, API key, or paid tier exists. Activation of any paid data product is an operator decision.
Affiliate units are not live. If they ever are, they stay off employment-advice or WARN-interpretation prose, off the primary filing verdict, use clear labeling, and share Module 36 density ceilings with display ads. None of that is enabled here.
Alternative ad-network eligibility (paperwork only): this property carries AdSense readiness work and public WARN Act filings; a second network would need the same org identity, privacy, and content-policy surfaces. No second network tag is installed.
Every figure on PlainLayoffs is rendered directly from public WARN Act filings and state workforce agency records, no number is typed in by an editor. Downloads stream the live SQLite employer aggregates that power /employer pages; no hand-typed totals. See our editorial standards & corrections policy, the methodology behind these numbers, or report a data error. Data current as of September 2026. A WARN filing is a legally required notice, not a judgment of a company's management or financial health; rankings here reflect filed notice volume only.
