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.
Last successful read of every source behind this page, to the hour: Oct. 23, 2026, 6 a.m. MDT / 7 a.m. CDT.

article changed — not how recently the page was read.
† Company-wide or nationwide figure, as reported in the
notice — the employee count may aggregate sites beyond South
Dakota and is not South Dakota-specific.

Email me when a company files
Email delivery is not switched on yet, so joining the list sends you nothing today. When it starts you will get one email per day, only on days with new WARN filings — company, location, date received, employees affected, with a link to the full article — beginning from the day it starts rather than a backfill of what you missed. Unsubscribe with one click, any time.
We use your email only to send the WARN Watch digest. Every email
carries a one-click unsubscribe link; erasure requests go to

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.
