## How this report is built

What counts, how jobs are counted, and the as-of date

### What counts

Every published Layoffs Tracker announcement dated in September 2026: layoffs, store closures, and return-to-office mandates. Each row is one announcement by one company, dated the day the company or a filing first made it public, not the day the cuts take effect. Months follow UTC dates.

### How jobs are counted

Jobs affected is counted only when a source states a number. We never estimate one, so every total on this page is a floor: announcements without a stated number are left out of the sum, not counted as zero.

### As-of date

Figures are as of November 2, 2026, and the newest change to a September 2026 announcement was on October 2, 2026. Announcements verified later can still be added to this month.

An edition needs at least 5 published announcements before it is listed for search engines.

### Data

Every row, all months, is in the [CSV](/layoffs/data.csv) and [JSON](/layoffs/data.json) downloads. Filter on the announcement date to rebuild this report. The [tracker methodology](/layoffs#methodology) covers sources and how to cite.

## Data and archives

Free to reuse with attribution to Metaintro

Every published announcement, all years, one row per event. Column names are stable, and jobs affected are blank where no source states a number.
