- ## 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 **2026-09-14**; 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 field-level changes, logged every day since 2026-08-31.**
140
- `data/revisions.csv` records each time a state agency edited a notice after
141
- publishing it — employee counts, effective dates, notice types, company names —
142
- with the old value, the new value and the date we saw the change. A scrape that
143
- starts tomorrow cannot backfill this; it only exists if someone was watching.
144
- - **6,799 notices whose state agency page no longer lists them.** Agencies
145
- take notices down. We keep them, flagged as archive-only, so a count you ran
146
- last year still reconciles.
147
- - **Point-in-time employer identity.** The ticker crosswalk resolves a filer to
148
- the company as it existed at the time of the notice — Kmart, Sears Holdings,
149
- Symantec — not to whatever is on today's ticker file.
150
-
151
- If you have to defend a number to an editor, a referee or a compliance reviewer,
152
- that provenance layer is the part you cannot rebuild yourself.

- daily refresh, delivered to a private alert page + calendar (.ics) + RSS +
167
- an optional Slack / Discord / Teams webhook. Every alert carries that employer's
168

169
