Which US employers are laying off in more than one state?

Every state publishes its own WARN Act layoff notices, and every state's list stops at its border. The employer that filed in Texas on Monday and Ohio on Wednesday appears as two unrelated rows on two unrelated portals. This dataset is the merge: the free-window notices from 39 states, grouped by employer, kept to employers that filed in two or more states, rebuilt every day.

The headline (free window, 2024 - today, as of 2026-09-07)

Employers with filings in 5+ states	62
Workers named in those employers' filings, as filed	262,971

What is in the files

data/multi_state_employers.csv (config employers, default) - one row per employer, 436 rows:

column	meaning
employer	canonicalized employer name (see method)
n_states	number of distinct states with a filing
states	space-separated two-letter codes
notices	number of filings across those states
workers_as_filed	sum of employees_affected across those filings, exactly as each state filed it
first_notice	earliest notice date (or effective date where the state gives no notice date)
last_notice	latest such date

data/multi_state_notices.csv (config notices) - every underlying filing, 2,397 rows, the same columns as the daily notices dataset (id, state, company, company_canonical, company_dba, location, employees_affected, notice_date, effective_date, notice_type, first_seen). Join on id.

Both files cover the free window (2024 to today). The same merge over the full 1988+ archive is part of the paid archive - stated up front rather than discovered after download.

Method, and what it does NOT say

• Grouping is deterministic string canonicalization, not corporate-entity resolution. Legal suffixes (Inc, LLC, Corp) are stripped, "dba" parts are split off, plant/site tails after dashes are dropped, ALL-CAPS is fixed. Nothing is looked up. Consequences you must expect: a subsidiary filing under its own name is not merged into its parent, and two spellings the rule cannot reconcile may split one employer into two rows. Treat employer as a display key, not a legal identity.
• workers_as_filed is a sum of headcounts as filed. States amend and re-file notices; where the source portal lists an amendment as a separate row, the workers are counted again. It is not a deduplicated headcount.
• A filing in two states says the employer had two WARN-triggering events; it does not say they were the same decision, the same week, or the same business line.
• "Notice" means one row on a state WARN portal. States differ in what they publish (some list every site, some one row per employer per event).

Freshness

Rebuilt daily from 39 state labor-department portals by an automated pipeline; the underlying build was 2026-09-07. A static copy of this list is wrong within a week - the multi-state view only exists because something merges the portals every day.
