GoLayoffs is an independent layoff tracker and labor market news site that turns official WARN notices, company announcements and BLS data into clear, sourced updates for US workers, job seekers and journalists.
What GoLayoffs does
WARN notice trackers
We collect mass layoff notices filed under the federal WARN Act and state laws in California, Washington, New York and Texas, checking for new filings every day. Each notice shows the employer, location, number of workers affected and effective date, so you can see layoffs before they make the news.
Tech Layoff Tracker
Our Tech Layoff Tracker follows job cuts at tech companies, with charts by month, industry and share of workforce. Every entry links to its source and is labeled Confirmed or Reported.
Layoffs by company
Company pages bring together every WARN notice and announced cut for an employer in one place, with totals and a timeline. Browse them in our company directory.
US jobs data
We explain the monthly jobs report, JOLTS and other Bureau of Labor Statistics releases in plain English, with charts you can share, embed or download as CSV.
Guides for laid-off workers
Practical guides on notice rights, severance, health insurance and COBRA and what to do next, based on official government sources.
What makes GoLayoffs different
Primary sources, not rumors
Every number links to its original source: a state WARN filing, an SEC report, a BLS release or a company statement. Where we rely on media reports, we label them as Reported rather than Confirmed.
WARN notices plus announcements in one place
Trackers such as layoffs.fyi and TrueUp focus mainly on tech company announcements, while state WARN databases list notices with no context. GoLayoffs combines both, so you see filed notices and announced cuts side by side.
Daily updates
Our WARN trackers check state agencies every day, and our Layoffs Today page shows notices from the last 7 days.
Free, open data
All trackers and charts are free to read with no signup. You can download tables as CSV or embed charts on your own site with a source credit.
Written for workers
We pair the data with plain-English guides on what a layoff means for you: your rights, your benefits and your next steps.
