+# US layoffs in 2026: 2,597 WARN notices, 236,106 workers - rebuilt every morning
+
+**Data as of 2026-09-11.** One row per WARN Act layoff notice **filed with a US state
+agency in 2026**, normalised into one schema across 43 states. Free, CC BY 4.0,
+no login, no API key, no delayed tier.
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| **2,597** | layoff notices filed in 2026 so far |
+| **236,106** | workers named on them (a floor - see Honest scope) |
+| **43** | state agencies filed at least one |
+| **982** | most of any state: CA |
+| **9,891** | largest single notice: Ideal US Talent Systems Worker OpCo LLC (RI), filed 2026-05-05 |
+| **217** | filed in the last 30 days |
+
+![Workers named on 2026 WARN notices, by month](chart.svg)
+
+*Workers named on notices filed in each month of 2026. Peak so far: May with 45,083 workers across 280 notices. Counts are floors, and the final month is still being filed into.*
+
+## Why this file and not a spreadsheet someone posted
+
+Layoff notices arrive every business day, in 46 different formats, from 46 different
+state portals - and states amend headcounts and rescind notices after filing. This slice
+is rebuilt from those portals every morning, so the 2026 picture here moves. A static
+copy of it is out of date within about 24 hours. If you are reading a mirror that has not
+changed in a week, it is missing this week's layoffs.
+
+Want the full history instead of this year? [**59,136 notices back to 1988**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/APProjects/us-warn-act-layoffs-notices-daily).
+Want the ones that have not happened yet? [**Notices taking effect in the next 90 days**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/APProjects/upcoming-layoffs-job-cuts-plant-closings-us-warn-act).
+
+## Quickstart
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+layoffs = load_dataset("APProjects/layoffs-2026-us-warn-act-notices-daily", split="train")
+by_state = load_dataset("APProjects/layoffs-2026-us-warn-act-notices-daily", "by_state", split="train")
+by_month = load_dataset("APProjects/layoffs-2026-us-warn-act-notices-daily", "by_month", split="train")
+top = load_dataset("APProjects/layoffs-2026-us-warn-act-notices-daily", "top_employers", split="train")
+```
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+base = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/APProjects/layoffs-2026-us-warn-act-notices-daily/resolve/main/data/"
+df = pd.read_csv(base + "layoffs_2026.csv", parse_dates=["notice_date", "effective_date"])
+
+df.groupby("state").employees_affected.sum().nlargest(10)     # worst-hit states
+df[df.company.str.contains("Amazon", case=False, na=False)]   # one employer
+df[df.notice_date >= "2026-08-12"]                          # the last month
+```
+
+## Columns
+
+| column | meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `id` | stable notice id, joins to the [full archive](https://huggingface.co/datasets/APProjects/us-warn-act-layoffs-notices-daily) |
+| `state` | two-letter filing state |
+| `company` | employer exactly as the state agency published it |
+| `company_canonical` | normalised employer name - this is what lets you group one company across states |
+| `location` | city / county as filed |
+| `employees_affected` | workers named on the notice; blank where the agency published none |
+| `notice_date` | date the employer filed - **2026 for every row in this file** |
+| `effective_date` | date separations take effect, where the agency published one |
+| `notice_type` | layoff / closure / permanent / temporary, as filed |
+
+Rollups: `by_state` is `state, notices, workers`; `by_month` is `month, notices, workers`;
+`top_employers` is `company, notices, workers, states`.
+
+## Honest scope - read this before quoting a number
+
+- **Every worker total is a FLOOR.** 43 of the 2,597 2026 notices carry no headcount from the agency. They count as zero workers, never as a guess.
+- **3,263 notices in the whole archive carry no filing date at all** and therefore cannot appear in a by-filing-year slice, however recent they are. That is a gap in what states publish, not a filter we chose.
+- **2 rows in this file carry a filing date after 2026-09-11** - forward-dated or mistyped by the filing state. They are kept because that is what the agency published, and excluded from the chart.
+- **Sep 2026 is a partial month** - it is still being filed into. Do not read the last
+  bar of the chart as a decline.
+- Coverage is 46 state agencies, not 50. A state that files late is invisible
+  until it files, and absence from this file is not evidence that a company is not cutting.
+- A state's published `notice_date` is often the date the STATE logged the filing, not the
+  day the employer sent it.
+- Compiled from state workforce-agency portals. Independent project, not affiliated with any
+  government agency. Not legal, financial or employment advice.
+
+## Where it comes from, and how to check it
+
+Every row traces to a state agency portal; the per-state sources, formats and last-checked
+timestamps are published at [approjects-warn-act-notices.static.hf.space/sources.html](https://approjects-warn-act-notices.static.hf.space/sources.html). Code and the
+full data mirror: [github.com/APVentureEngine/warn-act-notices](https://github.com/APVentureEngine/warn-act-notices). Corrections:
+[open an issue](https://github.com/APVentureEngine/warn-act-notices/issues) - they ship the same day.
+
+## Getting told when the next one lands
+
+Everything above is free and always will be. The one paid thing this project sells is the
+*watching*: [**WARN Watch**](https://approj.gumroad.com/l/warn-watch) runs your employer and state list against every daily
+rebuild for a year and delivers matches to a private alert page, an RSS feed and an optional
+Slack / Discord / Teams webhook - $49/year, one payment, no auto-renew, 14-day refund.
+Try it first for nothing: [**free 30-day watch**](https://approj.gumroad.com/l/warn-free-watch), no card, up to 3 employers
+or one whole state.
