Reading Indiana's WARN Act Filings
Indiana has 994 WARN notices on record affecting 149,707 workers, with the most recent filing dated Jun 8, 2026. Reporting floor: 50+ workers (stricter than federal, captures mid-sized layoffs the federal threshold misses).
Average notice size: 151 workers - mid-scale restructuring (department-level cuts, capacity consolidation). 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 WARN notices are advance warnings, not confirmed outcomes, some filings are later withdrawn, postponed, or end up affecting fewer people than first projected, while voluntary buyouts and slow attrition never appear in this dataset at all.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.
