Coverage limits and how to read sector WARN totals
WARN notices cover qualifying events, not every workforce reduction: federal coverage depends on the employer, worksite, event size, workforce share, timing, and exceptions, while state rules can differ. At an average of 133 workers per notice, filing size in Accommodation & Food Services falls into the smaller-event band, consistent with single-line or partial-facility cuts. Read the record alongside BLS employment data; WARN flags the reported event, not its cause or an individual worker's entitlement.
