California permanent closures under the WARN Act
Type an employer name. 652 employers whose permanent closures in California affected 50 workers or more, from the WARN notices from July 2022 to October 2026.
Did this company stop operating altogether? Its internal data may still have value — see the data of a company that has stopped operating. Or a dated record report.
What this is
Under the WARN Act, employers must give notice before closing a site or laying off many workers, and the California Employment Development Department (EDD) publishes the notices. This site keeps only the PERMANENT CLOSURES filed from July 2022 to October 2026, groups them by employer, and lists the employers whose closures affected 50 workers or more in total: the number of workers, the locations closed, the dates and the counties.
Who uses it
- Former employees — when did my employer close, and how many of us were affected?
- Suppliers, landlords and local officials — which employers closed sites in this county?
- Directors, trustees and buyers — see the data of a company that has stopped operating.
What it is not
Not the California Employment Development Department (EDD) and not the U.S. Department of Labor. A closure notice concerns a location, not the whole company: many employers here carry on elsewhere. Workers affected are those in the notices, not the company's headcount.
