# Are there layoffs today? Yes. As of Saturday, September 5, 2026, **104,111 jobs** were announced in cuts that two independent newsrooms both put a figure on, and **8,570 jobs** sit on official WARN notice filed in the last 30 days. ## TeamPredict Layoff Watch Computed from primary sources, not from customer data 8,570 jobs on official WARN notice, last 30 days Across 119 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. 104,111 jobs announced today, corroborated Counted only where two independent newsrooms printed the same figure.

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. Unreachable when this page was built: Oregon.

A WARN notice is a legal filing an employer has to make before it can act, and it names a site, a date and a headcount. Big employers often file weeks before they announce, small ones often file and never make the news at all, and plenty of announcements cover global headcount that never touches a US filing. The announcement number tells you what the market is talking about. The filing number tells you what is already in motion. Neither number is a national total. The filings cover the states that publish machine-readable data, which this page names, and the announcements cover what reached two newsrooms in the last day. ## Common questions How many jobs were cut today? 104,111 jobs, counting only announcements where two independent newsrooms printed the same figure. Announcements without a corroborated number are listed but not counted. What is a WARN notice? A WARN notice is the advance warning the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires an employer to file with a state labor department before a mass layoff or plant closure, generally 60 days ahead. It is a legal filing, not a press release, which is why it lands before the news does. Where do these numbers come from? The filings come straight from state labor department data. Counted across California, Washington and Maryland, the states whose labor departments publish machine-readable filings. The announcement figures come from the day's coverage, counted only where two independent newsrooms agree. None of it comes from TeamPredict customer data. ## The departures nobody files a notice for Layoffs come with 60 days of legal warning. Resignations come with two weeks. TeamPredict reads the public LinkedIn signals your team is already giving off and flags who looks likely to leave, so you get lead time on the exits that actually cost you.
