Source data: [California](https://edd.ca.gov/en/jobs_and_training/Layoff_Services_WARN/) (through 2026-08-24), [Washington](https://esd.wa.gov/about-employees/WARN) (through 2026-08-31), [Maryland](https://www.dllr.state.md.us/employment/warn.shtml) (through 2026-08-25).

Not counted, because their published data is more than three weeks behind: Texas (last filing 2026-06-23). A state that has stopped publishing has not stopped laying people off, so leaving it out beats counting it as a zero.

## Layoffs are the ones you can see coming. Resignations are not.
