L'Tanya Durante · Jan 5, 2022 · Leave a Comment

COVID-19 pandemic-related job layoffs and closings reported in the 2021 Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Report have begun to slow, as compared to last year. However, we will continue to update the number of employees affected by changes in their employment status.

It’s important to note that since not all businesses are required to file a WARN notice to report their changing status, these records do not reflect all of the layoffs and closures in North Carolina.
