What this chart shows
The single largest layoff events in the last 90 days, ranked by worker count. Each row is one filing — not a company total. A company with three separate 500-worker filings shows up three times, not once.
Why individual filings matter
Aggregates can hide the shape of the story. One 15,000-person filing tells a different story than 150 filings of 100 people each, even though the total is the same. This chart surfaces the mega-events that drive headlines and sector totals.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the same company appear multiple times?
Because each row is one filing. Large restructurings are often broken into multiple WARN notices by site or phase. We keep them separate because the dates, locations, and sometimes reasons differ.
