A few states including California have the WARN act [1]. The latest layoffs reported can be found here: http://www.edd.ca.gov/jobs_and_training/warn/WARN-Report

  Wow, parsing that from all states that have it could be interesting.

    Early heads up on an imminent recession maybe?

      More likely it would be a lagging indicator, rather than a leading one. Companies will close plants and offices with same delay on the onset of a recession (itself defined formally as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth).

      You're really only going to see large publicly traded companies reporting that way, and by that measure all those numbers are small in comparison to the size of those companies. Sucks for people getting the boot but I wouldn't think there is any indicator there. Those types of companies lay off people every year.

    It'd be very interesting to see it animated on a map.

    AFAIK, the WARN Act is a federal law, meaning it should apply in all states.
