Known limitations: Partial state coverage — most states publish WARN notices only as HTML, Excel, or PDF. Not a national total. Some states publish only the layoff effective date, not the filing date. WARN reports PLANNED layoffs and never identifies the immigration status of affected workers. Full methodology →
How to read this responsibly
The most important caveat on this page: a company can lay off workers in one division and sponsor H-1B workers in another, in different roles, cities, and years. WARN notices say nothing about who was hired afterward. Do not read these bars as replacement. Read the full methodology →

USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub + State WARN portalsUpdated Sep 15, 2026
How to read this responsibly
- Layoffs and sponsorship are reported on different calendars (calendar year vs fiscal year).
- H-1B approvals include both new and continuing workers already in their roles.
- No dataset here records whether a laid-off worker was replaced, or by whom.
- Correlation in these bars is not causation. Treat it as a prompt for questions, not a verdict.
- Covers 5 states with a machine-readable WARN feed (CA, NJ, TX, VA, WA). This is not a national total — most states publish WARN notices only as HTML, Excel, or PDF. An employer with no notice here may still have laid off workers in a state we don’t yet cover.
- Employers are matched by a normalized name. Matching is best-effort — verify against the state portal link on any individual notice before relying on it.
