Coverage: 174 New York notices on file, filed Jan 6, 2026 to Oct 19, 2026, collected daily from the state’s published layoff record (dol.ny.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.
