Coverage: 3 Mississippi notices on file, filed Feb 20, 2026 to Apr 14, 2026, collected daily from the state’s published layoff record (mdes.ms.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.
