This is a partial, not complete, record for Arizona.
We do not yet have a live feed from Arizona’s WARN registry; the 2 filings below are well-known layoffs we have captured individually, not the state’s full filing history. Arizona’s workforce agency may have many more notices on record. As a live Arizona feed becomes available we will replace this with the complete registry. Meanwhile, see the states with a complete feed on record.
The notices below are a partial sample for Arizona - 4,500 workers across 2 filings we have captured individually, not a complete state registry (see the note above). The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 requires employers with 100 or more staff to give 60 days' written notice before a mass layoff (500+ workers at a site, or 50+ when that is at least a third of the workforce) or a plant closing; Arizona reports through its own rapid-response and dislocated-worker program. Each notice below lists the employer, the number of jobs affected, the location, and the filing date, drawn directly from the state's published filings, use them to see which employers and industries are cutting, and when.
Arizona WARN threshold: Employers must file WARN notices when laying off 100+ workers. This matches the federal WARN Act threshold.

Reading Arizona's WARN Act Filings
Arizona has 2 WARN notices on record affecting 4,500 workers, with the most recent filing dated Nov 2, 2022. Reporting floor: 100+ workers (aligned with federal minimum).
Average notice size: 2,250 workers - large-impact events (full-site closures, multi-department shutdowns). WARN Act framework + worker rights →
A few caveats are worth keeping in mind when you read these numbers. WARN notices are advance warnings, not confirmed outcomes, some filings are later withdrawn, postponed, or end up affecting fewer people than first projected, while voluntary buyouts and slow attrition never appear in this dataset at all. The law also exempts smaller employers and any layoff below the reporting threshold, so a quiet state on this page is not automatically a healthy labor market; it may simply file fewer covered notices. Treat these totals as a floor on visible disruption and a timeline of the largest, best-documented cuts, then open an individual notice to see the employer, the location, and the effective date behind each figure.
