Corrections
Public corrections log
If a count changes, a source gets downgraded, or a confidence label moves, the record should show it. Quiet edits are bad practice for a platform like this.
Corrections should explain what changed, why it changed, and whether a historical snapshot was amended or annotated. When in doubt, annotate rather than rewrite the past.
Expanded the official-source layoff monitor
The public layoff tracker now monitors a broader set of still-live SEC filings, investor-relations releases, and direct company statements, expanding the official-source timeline without lowering the publication bar.
Added clearly labeled reported layoff entries
The layoff tracker can now ingest high-confidence reported events, such as Reuters- or Bloomberg-sourced layoff reports, while keeping them visibly separate from confirmed primary-document disclosures and excluding them from confirmed totals.
Removed sample layoff and research datasets from public pages
The public trends, research, and layoff surfaces were narrowed to source-backed BLS, ATS, and official-disclosure data only. Provisional modeled series were removed rather than left in place with caveats.
Corrected the software-developer baseline to the specific BLS occupation
Software Developers now uses the current BLS 15-1252 line item instead of the broader combined occupation family values that also include QA analysts and testers.
