## TeamPredict Layoff Watch

Computed from primary sources, not from customer data

7,471

Across 121 filings. A WARN notice is the advance warning an employer must file with a state labor department before a mass layoff, generally 60 days ahead.

3,300

jobs announced today, corroborated

Counted across California, Washington and Maryland, the states whose labor departments publish machine-readable filings.

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

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.
