What the Real Estate WARN Record Reveals
The Real Estate sector carries 47 WARN notices covering 15,073 workers across 25 employers in this dataset (NAICS 53) -- the 11th-largest of 19 tracked industries by total workers affected. WeWork 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: Educational Services (14,948 workers, 1% lower); Wholesale Trade (14,371 workers, 5% lower); Administrative & Support Services (9,913 workers, 34% lower); Mining & Oil and Gas Extraction (9,787 workers, 35% lower). 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 321 workers per notice, filing size in Real Estate tracks with multi-department reductions and site-level shutdowns. Read the record alongside BLS employment data; WARN flags the reported event, not its cause or an individual worker's entitlement.
