HOW IT WORKS

Where our data comes from

The federal WARN Actrequires larger employers to file public notice of mass layoffs and closures. States publish these filings as public records. CanaryWhistle reproduces those official records faithfully and attributes each to its source β€” we don't invent, estimate, or editorialize the filing data itself.

What we add

On top of the raw filing we compute helpful context β€” likely affected role families, and national median wage estimates from public Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. These are clearly labelled as estimates and are never presented as facts about a specific person or their pay.

No personal data of affected workers

WARN filings are company-levelrecords. We do not collect, store, or publish the names or contact details of any individual employee. The "talent on the market" framing refers to public job-search resources, not personal data.
