WARN notices
South Dakota layoffs tracker
At least 9,245 employees affected across 80 WARN notices filed with the South Dakota Department of Labor & Regulation since 2007.
2 notices do not state an employee count; the total above includes only stated counts.
Some filings cover multiple sites or nationwide workforce actions — those counts are not specific to a single South Dakota location.
Includes 2 notices reporting company-wide totals that may extend beyond South Dakota.
This counts what 605Buzz has published from the South Dakota DLR's WARN notice page — not what the South Dakota DLR's WARN notice page contains. A fetch that falls short yields fewer articles, and the most recent run of this desk did not record that it read the source in full — either it could not finish, or this source offers no signal that would prove it — so this page does not claim to be the whole record.

What is this?
Employers planning a plant closing or mass layoff file a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) with the South Dakota Department of Labor & Regulation, which publishes them on its public reporting page . A WARN notice reports a planned workforce action filed in advance — it does not mean the layoffs have already happened, and employers sometimes file voluntarily or amend earlier notices.
This tracker is rebuilt once a day from the SD DLR filings page; every row links to a provenance-backed article generated from the filing data. The “data last refreshed” date above is the last time a run actually changed something, so it can lag the daily schedule when the state posts nothing new.
