The complete file is the CSV above — every notice we hold for this state, back to 1988, free and rebuilt daily. ## How much notice did Pennsylvania workers actually get? No Pennsylvania notice in the archive carries both a notice date and an effective date, so no notice-period statistic is available. **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. Method and exclusions: [notice-period analysis](https://approjects-warn-act-notices.static.hf.space/notice-period.html). ## Track Pennsylvania layoffs without polling this file - **[Star the repo](https://github.com/APVentureEngine/warn-act-notices)** or [watch releases](https://github.com/APVentureEngine/warn-act-notices/subscription) — GitHub tells you each day the snapshot republishes. - **[Check Pennsylvania right now — free, no signup](https://approjects-warn-act-notices.static.hf.space/watch-now.html?s=PA)** — every Pennsylvania notice from the last 180 days, matched in your browser. - **[WARN Watch — $49/year](https://approj.gumroad.com/l/warn-watch)** — name up to 500 employers or whole states; every daily refresh matches them and pushes hits to a private page, a calendar (.ics), an RSS feed and your Slack / Discord / Teams webhook.

Snapshot as of **2026-09-15**; the files above are rebuilt every day, so the live count is the truth. Several projects publish a current WARN scrape and two of them carry more rows than we do. None of them publish what the records **used to say**: - **616 observed changes to already-published notices, logged daily since 2026-08-31.** `data/revisions.csv` records every field that differed between two consecutive daily builds — employee counts, effective dates, notice types, company names — with the old value, the new value and the date we saw it. We publish the observation and not the cause: a change is equally explained by the agency amending the notice or by our own parser improving, and we do not guess which (see `data/revisions.README.txt`). A scrape that starts tomorrow cannot backfill any of it; it only exists if someone was watching. - **6,799 notices whose state agency page no longer lists them.** Agencies take notices down. We keep them, flagged as archive-only, so a count you ran last year still reconciles. - **Point-in-time employer identity.** The ticker crosswalk resolves a filer to the company as it existed at the time of the notice — Kmart, Sears Holdings, Symantec — not to whatever is on today's ticker file. If you have to defend a number to an editor, a referee or a compliance reviewer, that provenance layer is the part you cannot rebuild yourself.
