Oregon WARN Notices 2026: 63 Filings, 2,323 Workers, and What Comes Next

Oregon's 2026 layoff picture looks different from last year's — not because filings stopped, but because they got smaller. The state's WARN archive holds 1,348 non-cancelled imported notices covering 185,947 reported workers, and the 2026 slice of that data tells a story of more notices affecting far fewer people.
