The table lists the 40 most recent layoffs, including reported ones outside the U.S. The totals above count 3,287 U.S. layoffs from 49 states since February 2025. Last updated Nov 9, 2026.
What this covers: notices a state has published online, marked “State record”, and layoffs reported by layoffs.fyi or in the press, marked with their source, where the same employer has no state filing within 45 days. A reported layoff that names no U.S. state shows “—” for the state and is listed but not counted in the totals above. Several reports of one layoff are shown once, with the number of workers most of them agree on. Not every state publishes its notices, some publish weeks late, and some leave out the number of workers, so the totals are a floor rather than a count of every layoff. States generally require a notice only from employers with 100 or more workers.
The Sources column lists up to three places that reported each layoff: the state record, then the news outlets that covered it. “1 source” marks a reported layoff that only one publisher has reported so far. Click an employer to see what to do if you were affected.
