What the 2024 WARN Record Shows
In 2024, employers filed 700 WARN Act notices in this dataset, reporting 146,022 affected workers across 614 employers and 17 sectors.
Jan was the heaviest month, with 37,143 workers (25% of the 2024 total). Against 2023, workers affected fell 42%. That makes 2024 the 3rd-largest of the 19 years on record. Citigroup alone accounts for 14% of the year's affected workers. Other Services led sector totals at 32% of 2024 workers, ahead of Manufacturing. TX led the geography at 28,424 workers (19% of 2024), ahead of OR. That flips the prior-year geographic lead: 2023 was headed by WA, while 2024 is headed by TX. The single largest 2024 filing was Citigroup in New York, NY at 20,000 workers (14% of the year), noticed 2024-01-12.
Closest years by workers affected: 2025 (145,934 workers, 0% lower); 2022 (88,267 workers, 40% lower); 2026 (73,974 workers, 49% lower); 2019 (46,180 workers, 68% lower).
Coverage limits, filing-year rules, and entitlements
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 209 workers per notice, 2024 filings tracked with mid-scale restructuring and consolidation within multi-site operators. A notice is counted in the year it was FILED, not the year separations take effect, so a December filing whose layoffs land in January still belongs here. A listed worker or filing does not by itself establish an individual entitlement; our guide explains the factors to check.

No. WARN notices cover qualifying events, not every workforce reduction. Federal coverage depends on the employer, worksite, event size, workforce share, timing, and exceptions; state rules can differ. Gradual attrition and voluntary separation programs are also not included, so actual job losses can be higher than the WARN record alone suggests.
