Reading the Pearson Education WARN Record
Pearson Education has 2 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 369 workers between Dec 11, 2013 and Nov 4, 2014. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, Pearson Education ranks #89 of 805 tracked employers in IN. Among the 8 other Information Technology employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 3,450 affected workers -- Pearson Education's 369 sits well below that group's typical scale. Every recorded filing was reported to IN's workforce agency, in the Information Technology sector -- a single-state footprint, unlike the multi-state pattern common among larger employers.
Averaging 185 workers per notice, Pearson Education's filings fall into a pattern that is consistent with site-level consolidation or a multi-department reduction in force. The 2 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.
Workers on IN-based Pearson Education notices should contact the IN workforce agency directly, response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice.

This record reflects filed notices only; subsequent hiring, rescinded closures, or facility reopenings are not tracked by WARN disclosures.
