Coverage: 28 Minnesota notices on file, filed Jan 5, 2026 to Oct 19, 2026, collected daily from the state’s published layoff record (mn.gov). A state may publish late or leave out worker counts, so this is a floor rather than a count of every layoff. States generally require a notice only from employers with 100 or more workers. See the national tracker for how we collect notices.
