+ ## A layoff record you can audit, not just download
130
+
131
+ This dataset is one cut of a single daily rebuild: **61,316 US WARN Act
132
+ layoff notices from 48 state agencies, 1988 to today**, one schema, no
133
+ login, no delay, CC BY 4.0. Snapshot as of **2026-09-15**; the files above are
134
+ rebuilt every day, so the live count is the truth.
135
+
136
+ Several projects publish a current WARN scrape and two of them carry more rows
137
+ than we do. None of them publish what the records **used to say**:
138
+
139
+ - **593 observed changes to already-published notices, logged daily since 2026-08-31.**
140
+ `data/revisions.csv` records every field that differed between two consecutive
141
+ daily builds — employee counts, effective dates, notice types, company names —
142
+ with the old value, the new value and the date we saw it. We publish the
143
+ observation and not the cause: a change is equally explained by the agency
144
+ amending the notice or by our own parser improving, and we do not guess which
145
+ (see `data/revisions.README.txt`). A scrape that starts tomorrow cannot backfill
146
+ any of it; it only exists if someone was watching.
147
+ - **6,799 notices whose state agency page no longer lists them.** Agencies
148
+ take notices down. We keep them, flagged as archive-only, so a count you ran
149
+ last year still reconciles.
150
+ - **Point-in-time employer identity.** The ticker crosswalk resolves a filer to
151
+ the company as it existed at the time of the notice — Kmart, Sears Holdings,
152
+ Symantec — not to whatever is on today's ticker file.
153
+
154
+ If you have to defend a number to an editor, a referee or a compliance reviewer,
155
+ that provenance layer is the part you cannot rebuild yourself.

162
+ **Building something with it?** The same files are a free HTTP API — JSON and
163
+ CSV, no key, no signup, `access-control-allow-origin: *` so `fetch()` works from
164

+ **Or have it watch a list for you.** Coming back to look is the part a CSV cannot
167
+ do. **WARN Watch — $49 for a year**, one payment, nothing auto-renews, 14-day
168
+ refund, no login: up to 500 employer names plus whole states, matched on every
169
+ daily refresh, delivered to a private alert page + calendar (.ics) + RSS +
170
+ an optional Slack / Discord / Teams webhook. Every alert carries that employer's
171
+ whole filing history from the archive, which a keyword rule on an RSS feed cannot
172
+ see. There is no built-in email — we do not claim one.

+ **Not deciding today?** [Join the update list →](https://approj.gumroad.com/subscribe) — used only for a
178
+ state added, a column change or a tier change; nothing promotional. The list is
179
+ shared across APProjects datasets, holds an email address only, is run by
180
+ Gumroad, and any message unsubscribes you. Rather give no address at all?
181
+ [Watch the repo's releases](https://github.com/APVentureEngine/warn-act-notices/subscription) — GitHub notifies you on
182
+ every daily republish, and a new state or changed field is in those notes the

185
+ **Reaching a human.** WARN Feed is published by APProjects, an automated data
186
+ publisher — that is stated plainly rather than dressed up. Corrections, coverage
187
+ gaps, schema questions and refund requests all go here and are read:
188
+ [open an issue](https://github.com/APVentureEngine/warn-act-notices/issues/new/choose). Payments are handled by Gumroad as merchant of
189
+ record, so an invoice can carry your company name.
