What the Public Administration WARN Record Reveals

The Public Administration sector carries 47 WARN notices covering 1,524 workers across 46 employers in this dataset (NAICS 92) -- the 18th-largest of 19 tracked industries by total workers affected. Jet Propulsion Laboratory (California Institute of Technology) alone accounts for 36% of the sector total. With 47 notices across the dataset, the sector shows repeated WARN activity, not evenly distributed across employers.

Closest sectors by workers affected: Management of Companies (1,530 workers, 0% higher); Agriculture, Forestry & Fishing (1,188 workers, 22% lower); Construction (7,549 workers, 395% higher); Mining & Oil and Gas Extraction (9,787 workers, 542% higher). Peer distance uses the same WARN totals as the industry rank; it is not a causal claim.

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 32 workers per notice, filing size in Public Administration 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.
