Caveats

  • Two months is not a trend. The figures are stated side by side; no direction is claimed.
  • WARN notices record an employer, a location, a date and a headcount. They say nothing about the immigration status of the workers affected.
  • Coverage is the 5 states with a machine-readable feed, not a national total.

Methodology & sources
Data signals are computed from the same committed snapshots the site renders. They are never typed in, never estimated, never written by a model. Only reported figures and exact counts of ImmigrationClock’s own archive qualify; nothing projected or modeled appears here. Direction and magnitude are stated, never causation. See all insights.
