DigestsMonthly
Two lenses on the same calendar month. What was announced this month, and which jobs ended this month.
In March 2002, employers announced 219 layoff notices affecting 20,616 workers across 8 states in the USA, up 113% from February 2002. Separately, 11,484 jobs ended in March 2002.
How to read these numbers
Filed this month counts notices by the date they were announced. Jobs ending this month counts layoffs by the date workers actually leave. The two halves rarely match, because notices are published before the layoffs they describe take effect. Federal WARN generally requires 60 days' advance notice for covered events, but requirements, exceptions, and the dates in individual records vary.
