Week-Ahead: October 30 is projected to be the most significant layoff week of October, with 8,520 workers facing potential job cuts, according to state labor agency notices. This week's forecast marks a stark contrast to the relatively light week of October 23, which has only 1,393 workers slated for layoffs. The heaviest layoff period on the current calendar is actually the week of November 13, with 8,744 workers set to be let go.
The entire month of November appears to be a heavy one, with the weeks of November 13, 20, and 27 accounting for over 21,600 scheduled layoffs combined. The national picture shows Washington leading with 16,938 workers on the list, followed by California, Illinois, Texas, and Ohio. These figures are snapshots of filed plans and are subject to change as new notices are filed and older ones expire from the 90-day window.
The October 30 week may see additional filings, while the November 13 peak could potentially shift to a higher number if October 30's total continues to grow.
