NATIONAL EMPLOYER INDEX

The Biggest Layoffs by Employer

18,985 employers have filed WARN layoff notices in our database, cutting 4,384,092 jobs. 1,821 of them filed in two or more states. Ranked by total jobs cut, United Airlines leads with 47,280 across 9 states; by reach, Walmart spans the most, 26 states.

◆ Every other tracker shows one employer as dozens of disconnected rows. We fuse the names a company files under, store numbers, site codes, legal suffixes, into one, so its real national footprint is visible in a single place. Figures are tracked WARN filings, not all US layoffs.

Watch a company's national footprint

We'll email you when any employer you track files a new WARN notice, in any state.

Questions

Which company has laid off the most people?

United Airlines, with 47,280 jobs cut across 9 states in 30 WARN filings, is the largest by total headcount in our tracked data.

What company is laying off in the most states?

Walmart has filed WARN notices in 26 states, the widest national footprint in our data.

Which companies are ramping up layoffs right now?

Amazon shows the largest year-on-year increase: 12,328 jobs cut in the last 12 months versus 5,218 the year before. See the "Accelerating now" list.

How is this different from other layoff trackers?

Other trackers show a company's filings as separate rows on separate state pages. We resolve the many names one employer files under (store numbers, site codes, legal suffixes) into a single company, so you see its true national footprint, total jobs and every state at once.

Is this every layoff in the US?

No. It's every WARN notice we track from state labor departments. WARN covers larger layoffs and closures (roughly 50+ jobs); smaller cuts and non-filing employers aren't required to report.
