Layoffs & Hires

Layoffs & Hires, at layoffsandhires.com, is a live tracker of layoffs and hiring, made by Vineer.

Layoffs come from two places. The first is announcements reported in the news worldwide, of about 100 people or more, found with the help of the GDELT Project. The method page says a news layoff is shown only when two or more independent outlets report it, or one major outlet does, and that a number of people is shown only when the sources agree on it. The second is official US WARN notices, which US law requires before a layoff of 50 or more people at one site. Those appear as filed, and a notice that matches a news entry joins it rather than counting twice.

Hiring is the jobs open on the careers pages of tracked companies. The site says it reads every job count from the company's own page, and that a board it can't read in full is left out rather than undercounted. New jobs over 7 days counts jobs first posted in the last 7 days that are still open.

The homepage has a Layoffs tab and a Hiring tab, a weekly layoffs total, and a count of jobs open right now. You can filter by region and sector, and search by company, job title or skill. The method page states the limits plainly. Open jobs are not hires, the tracked companies lean towards tech and the US, and neither list is a count of all jobs lost or created. Sources are listed at layoffsandhires.com and the method at layoffsandhires.com.
