Methodology & sources
Reported vs modeled on this page. WARN notices are reported records: each one was filed with a state agency and links back to that agency’s portal. The H-1B, wage, and ICE figures are modeled — neither USCIS nor ICE publishes these breakdowns by state, so we apportion national totals using our own weights and label every such figure. Modeled figures are illustrative of scale, not official state counts. 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. Enforcement and layoff figures come from separate public datasets and should not be combined to imply causation. Full methodology → Read the full methodology →
