Of the **492** Kentucky notices in the full archive that carry both a notice date and an effective date, **220** (**44.7%**) span fewer than 60 days. | Year | Notices with both dates | Under 60 days | Share | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | | 2026 | 30 | 8 | 26.7% | | 2025 | 4 | 1 | _n<30_ | | 2016 | 42 | 20 | 47.6% | | 2015 | 71 | 38 | 53.5% | | 2014 | 26 | 13 | _n<30_ | | 2013 | 45 | 16 | 35.6% | | 2012 | 53 | 24 | 45.3% | | 2011 | 27 | 13 | _n<30_ | | 2010 | 37 | 17 | 45.9% | | 2009 | 73 | 34 | 46.6% | | 2008 | 54 | 24 | 44.4% | | 2007 | 9 | 1 | _n<30_ | | 2006 | 9 | 5 | _n<30_ | | 2005 | 5 | 5 | _n<30_ | **Read this before quoting the notice-period numbers.** Several states publish the date *the state received* the filing rather than the date workers were notified, so an interval a little under 60 days is frequently state processing lag rather than a short notice. That is why this dataset publishes state-level and year-level shares and **never** ranks named employers by notice length.
