A few states including California have the WARN act [1]. The latest layoffs reported can be found here: http://www.edd.ca.gov/jobs_and_training/warn/WARN-Report-for... [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_Adjustment_and_Retraini...

Wow, parsing that from all states that have it could be interesting.

Keen.io secretly laid off a large amount of staff recently across-the-board. They provided severance in exchange for fresh confidentiality agreements. Here are some examples of the various people and departments affected by the lay-off and all let-go simultaneously:

Director, People Operations & Facilities

VP Engineering

Sales

Tech Writing and Dev Engagement

More likely it would be a lagging indicator, rather than a leading one. Companies will close plants and offices with same delay on the onset of a recession (itself defined formally as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth).
