A WARN notice is the advance filing that an employer with roughly 100 or more employees sends to a state agency before a layoff or closure. Each row counts filings: headcounts and dates are as the employer or state recorded them, a notice can be revised, and the planned event can change before it happens. A notice names how many workers an employer expects to lose and says nothing about which workers. Bigger employers file more notices, so a larger count tracks company size. Notices are counted under the employer's name with its spellings together, and under one SEC registrant where the register tied them to it. How to read layoff notice data covers what the notices can and cannot say and why some are missing.
