DigestsMonthly
Two lenses on the same calendar month. What was announced this month, and which jobs ended this month.
In October 2011, employers announced 151 layoff notices affecting 13,364 workers across 25 states in the USA, up 41% from September 2011. Separately, 9,451 jobs ended in October 2011.
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.
