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, we don't invent, estimate, or editorialize the filing data itself.
Official sources · 34 jurisdictions
Every state below links to its own government WARN page. Most publish a machine-readable feed or file list; a few (California, Texas, Oregon) also expose a structured open-data endpoint, which we use directly.
New states are added as their official feeds are onboarded. Spot a stale link? Email corrections and we'll fix it.
What we add, and what it is
On top of the raw filing we compute likely affected role families and an estimated payroll figure. Be clear on what that number is: it is a national median wage by role family, from public Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, multiplied by the headcount on the filing. It is a modelled estimate for scale, not the actual salaries of the affected workers, and we never present it as such. Where a state feed omits a field (a role breakdown, an effective date), we leave it blank rather than guess.
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.
