What the 2025 WARN Record Shows
In 2025, employers filed 1,677 WARN Act notices in this dataset, reporting 145,934 affected workers across 1,247 employers and 18 sectors.
Oct was the heaviest month, with 31,197 workers (21% of the 2025 total). Against 2024, workers affected held level. That makes 2025 the 4th-largest of the 19 years on record. Amazon alone accounts for 3% of the year's affected workers. Other Services led sector totals at 44% of 2025 workers, ahead of Manufacturing. CA led the geography at 40,313 workers (28% of 2025), ahead of WA, so one state shapes the annual map. That flips the prior-year geographic lead: 2024 was headed by TX, while 2025 is headed by CA. The single largest 2025 filing was Gebbers Farms, Etal in Brewster, WA at 3,465 workers (2% of the year), noticed 2025-10-10 with an effective date of 2025-11-25.
Closest years by workers affected: 2024 (146,022 workers, 0% higher); 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 87 workers per notice, 2025 filings concentrated in the smaller-event band, consistent with partial facility layoffs that still crossed the reporting threshold. 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.
