Employers that have filed the most Michigan WARN notices

262 employers have filed two or more Michigan notices. The 25 most frequent filers, rolled up on the normalized employer name (company_canonical), with every notice counted from the free file above. "Workers affected" sums the headcount on the notices that state one; it is a floor, not an estimate.

How much notice did Michigan workers actually get?

No Michigan notice in the archive carries both a notice date and an effective date, so no notice-period statistic is available.

Read this before quoting the notice-period numbers. Several states publish the date the state received the filing rather than the date workers were notified, so an interval a little under 60 days is frequently state processing lag rather than a short notice. That is why this dataset publishes state-level and year-level shares and never ranks named employers by notice length.

Method and exclusions: notice-period analysis.

Track Michigan layoffs without polling this file

• Star the repo or watch releases — GitHub tells you whenever the snapshot republishes (not every day; the data files refresh daily).
• Check Michigan right now — free, no signup — every Michigan notice from the last 180 days, matched in your browser.
• WARN Watch — $49/year — name up to 500 employers or whole states; every daily refresh matches them and pushes hits to a private page, a calendar (.ics), an RSS feed and your Slack / Discord / Teams webhook. No login. Free 30-day trial — 3 employers or 1 state, no card.
• Full 1988→ archive — free — every state, every year, one schema.

A layoff record you can audit, not just download

This dataset is one cut of a single daily rebuild: 61,431 US WARN Act layoff notices from 48 state agencies, 1988 to today, one schema, no login, no delay, CC BY 4.0. Snapshot as of 2026-09-25; the files above are rebuilt every day, so the live count is the truth.

Several projects publish a current WARN scrape and two of them carry more rows than we do. None of them publish what the records used to say:

• 2,482 observed changes to already-published notices, logged daily since 2026-08-31. data/revisions.csv records every field that differed between two consecutive daily builds — employee counts, effective dates, notice types, company names — with the old value, the new value and the date we saw it. We publish the observation and not the cause: a change is equally explained by the agency amending the notice or by our own parser improving, and we do not guess which (see data/revisions.README.txt). A scrape that starts tomorrow cannot backfill any of it; it only exists if someone was watching.
• 6,799 notices whose state agency page no longer lists them. Agencies take notices down. We keep them, flagged as archive-only, so a count you ran last year still reconciles.
• Point-in-time employer identity. The ticker crosswalk resolves a filer to the company as it existed at the time of the notice — Kmart, Sears Holdings, Symantec — not to whatever is on today's ticker file.

If you have to defend a number to an editor, a referee or a compliance reviewer, that provenance layer is the part you cannot rebuild yourself. How to cite this dataset →

Look something up right now — free, no signup, nothing to install. Check any employer or state against the last 180 days → It runs in your browser against these same files.

Building something with it? The same files are a free HTTP API — JSON and CSV, no key, no signup, access-control-allow-origin: * so fetch() works from a browser: endpoints, schema and curl examples →

Prefer a spreadsheet? One formula puts the last 90 days, the last 12 months or any single state into Google Sheets as a live range that refreshes itself — no signup, no add-on: the formulas, one per state → =IMPORTDATA("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/APVentureEngine/warn-act-notices@main/data/sheets/us-last-90-days.csv")

Backtesting, or citing a figure you published last month? Today's file has look-ahead and survivorship bias baked in: notices get amended after the fact and some rows are later deleted. The same table as it stood on any past day since 2026-08-30 — one immutable vintage per day, 25 so far, plus a first-appearance index giving the first and last day every notice id was in the file — is the point-in-time snapshot archive. Nobody can backfill it.

Need one industry only? The same filings, cut by an auditable employer-name rule (each row keeps the rule that fired): tech companies · hospitals & healthcare · retail store closings · restaurants & hotels · factory & plant closings · banks, insurance & finance · warehouses, trucking & logistics · all 20 sectors.

Or have it watch a list for you. Coming back to look is the part a CSV cannot do. WARN Watch — $49 for a year, one payment, nothing auto-renews, 14-day refund, no login: up to 500 employer names plus whole states, matched on every daily refresh, delivered to a private alert page + calendar (.ics) + RSS + an optional Slack / Discord / Teams webhook. Every alert carries that employer's whole filing history from the archive, which a keyword rule on an RSS feed cannot see. There is no built-in email — we do not claim one.

• Try it free for 30 days, no card · Buy — $49/year

Not deciding today? Join the update list → — one email when a new dataset or tier is published; nothing promotional. A state added or a column renamed ships in the daily release instead, no address needed. The list is shared across APProjects datasets, holds an email address only, is run by Gumroad, and any message unsubscribes you. Rather give no address at all? Watch the repo's releases — GitHub notifies you on every daily republish, and a new state or changed field is in those notes the day it lands.

Reaching a human. WARN Feed is published by APProjects, an automated data publisher — that is stated plainly rather than dressed up. Corrections, coverage gaps, schema questions and refund requests all go here and are read: open an issue. Payments are handled by Gumroad as merchant of record, so an invoice can carry your company name.
