How the data is built

Each entry is a news headline in which a company announces job cuts, a shutdown or buyouts, read from Google News through the day, plus checked reader reports. The number is the one in the headline; nothing is estimated. Totals count only announcements that state a number of US jobs. Stories from outlets outside the United States are left out.
