- ## A layoff record you can audit, not just download
153

154
- This dataset is one cut of a single daily rebuild: **61,330 US WARN Act
155
- layoff notices from 48 state agencies, 1988 to today**, one schema, no
156
- login, no delay, CC BY 4.0. Snapshot as of **2026-09-17**; the files above are
157
- rebuilt every day, so the live count is the truth.

159
- Several projects publish a current WARN scrape and two of them carry more rows
160
- than we do. None of them publish what the records **used to say**:
161
-
162
- - **617 observed changes to already-published notices, logged daily since 2026-08-31.**
163
- `data/revisions.csv` records every field that differed between two consecutive
164
- daily builds — employee counts, effective dates, notice types, company names —
165
- with the old value, the new value and the date we saw it. We publish the
166
- observation and not the cause: a change is equally explained by the agency
167
- amending the notice or by our own parser improving, and we do not guess which
168
- (see `data/revisions.README.txt`). A scrape that starts tomorrow cannot backfill
169
- any of it; it only exists if someone was watching.
170
- - **6,799 notices whose state agency page no longer lists them.** Agencies
171
- take notices down. We keep them, flagged as archive-only, so a count you ran
172
- last year still reconciles.
173
- - **Point-in-time employer identity.** The ticker crosswalk resolves a filer to
174
- the company as it existed at the time of the notice — Kmart, Sears Holdings,
175
- Symantec — not to whatever is on today's ticker file.
176
-
177
- If you have to defend a number to an editor, a referee or a compliance reviewer,
178
- that provenance layer is the part you cannot rebuild yourself.
