DigestsMonthly
Two lenses on the same calendar month. What was announced this month, and which jobs ended this month.
In February 2003, employers announced 100 layoff notices affecting 16,350 workers across 8 states in the USA, down 54% from January 2003. Separately, 9,281 jobs ended in February 2003.
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.
