Greater Chicago sits among the top U.S. metros for WARN Act filings in the last 12 months — 61 notices affecting 7,954 workers. Tech, manufacturing, retail, and healthcare consistently lead IL layoff activity, and the 60-day statutory notice window means every filing is a signal that arrives well before the LinkedIn post or press release. If you sell to HR, represent laid-off employees, recruit displaced talent, or trade on distressed equities, this feed is the earliest public signal available.
