Oregon Layoffs November 2026: WARN Numbers Explained

Oregon has filed 63 WARN notices so far in 2026, covering 2,323 reported workers. That is more notices than 2025's 56 — but the worker total is less than a third of last year's 7,188. Layoff activity has not stopped in Oregon; it has gotten smaller — the largest filing of 2026, a 387-worker Portland closure, is about one in six of the year's reported workers. Figures below are from the Layoff Atlas registry of WARN notices. These are reported plans, not confirmed job losses.

The 2026 picture so far

That works out to about 37 workers per filing on average. Compare that with 2025, when 56 notices covered 7,188 workers — about 128 per filing — and 2024, when 65 notices covered 7,009 workers, about 108 each. Oregon is seeing roughly the same number of filings as the last two years, but each one is much smaller.

The 2026 total already exceeds 2022's full-year figure of 1,358 workers, the quietest recent year. But it is well below 2023's 3,261, and far below the roughly 7,000 reported in each of 2024 and 2025. With seven weeks left in the year and only 106 workers on future 2026 effective dates, it is on course to finish well below 2023's total.

The largest filings of 2026

The year's biggest filing is the Portland Truck Manufacturing Facility: 387 workers, a closure effective October 30, 2026, on a notice dated July 30 — 92 days' notice, well beyond the WARN Act's 60-day minimum, and about 17 percent of all workers reported in Oregon this year. The next largest:

• Avamere Health Services, Tigard — 129 workers, a layoff effective September 1, 2026, on a notice dated August 3.
• JeniusBank — 105 workers, a closure effective October 9, 2026, on a notice dated August 10 (locality shown as New York, NY in Oregon's feed).
• Lombard Street Facility, Portland — 80 workers, a layoff effective November 23, 2026, on a notice dated September 23.
• Amentum, Hillsboro — 74 workers, a layoff effective October 19, 2026, on a notice dated August 20.
• TV Hardware Distribution, Springfield — 62 workers, a closure effective October 3, 2026, on a notice dated August 3.

Two employers filed phased closures. The Tualatin Oregon Facility filed five notices totalling 87 workers, effective October 31, 2026 through March 31, 2027, the largest phase (60 workers) on February 28, 2027. Bowtech in Eugene filed five notices totalling 43 workers, phased from September 30, 2026 through February 28, 2027. The picture is concentrated: a handful of mid-size events, not a broad wave.

What's still ahead

Eight Oregon notices have future effective dates, covering 176 workers:

• November 23, 2026 — Lombard Street Facility, Portland, 80 workers.
• November 30, 2026 — Tualatin Oregon Facility, 11 workers, and Bowtech, Eugene, 4 workers.
• December 31, 2026 — Tualatin Oregon Facility, 2 workers, and Bowtech, Eugene, 9 workers.
• February 28, 2027 — Tualatin Oregon Facility, 60 workers, and Bowtech, Eugene, 1 worker.
• March 31, 2027 — Tualatin Oregon Facility, 9 workers.

Nationally, the week of November 23 carries 6,207 reported workers, including Oregon's Lombard Street filing. But just 106 Oregon workers are scheduled for the rest of 2026 — nothing points to a large December event in the state.

The year-by-year picture

Oregon's archive holds 1,348 non-cancelled WARN notices reporting 185,947 workers. The pandemic year 2020 was the spike: 187 notices and 21,658 workers. Activity then fell sharply — 2,371 workers in 2021 and 1,358 in 2022 — before recovering to 3,261 in 2023 and about 7,000 in each of 2024 and 2025. The 2026 figures break that pattern: the notice count stayed in the same range, but the worker total fell by roughly two-thirds. One outlier: in 1998, just 29 notices reported 33,275 workers, the archive's largest year.

Oregon in the national picture

Nationally, the registry currently shows 700 notices and 64,252 reported workers in its 90-day window, with 30 worker counts unavailable, updated November 9, 2026. California leads with 21,514 reported workers, followed by Washington with 17,411 — together about 61 percent of the national window total. Illinois (3,432), Texas (2,750), and Maryland (2,475) round out the top five; Oregon's 2026 pace is modest next to them. The national calendar stays heavy: 6,473 workers are scheduled effective in the week of November 9, 6,202 in the week of November 16, 6,207 in the week of November 23, and 5,962 in the week of November 30, before a light December 7 week (898).

How to read Oregon's numbers

Oregon's figures carry an important sourcing caveat. All 1,348 records in the state's archive are attributed secondary records: the registry holds zero direct government records for Oregon, and zero eligible official filings in the last 365 days. The numbers come from the WARN Feed secondary source, not a state-published list — the best available picture, not an official state count. Thirty-seven notices have unavailable worker counts, so the totals understate the true scale. And as with every state, these figures describe reported plans, not confirmed job losses: some announced layoffs are reduced, delayed, or cancelled before their effective dates. Coverage and reporting rules vary by state, so Oregon's totals are a measure of what the registry captures, not a complete census of layoffs — and missing coverage is not zero layoffs.
