Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015). Extended Mass Layoffs (NAICS) [Archive]: Layoff Events, Industry Data from 1995-Present (NAICS) | Country: USA | State: Oklahoma | Industry*: Total all industries, 1996-2003. Data-Planet™ Statistical Ready Reference by Conquest Systems, Inc. [Data-file]. Dataset-ID: 002-009-001.
Dataset: Extended layoff events, non seasonally adjusted, NAICS industry data from 1995-present. An extended mass layoff is a layoff of at least 31 days in duration and involving 50 or more individuals from a single establishment filing initial claims for unemployment insurance during a consecutive 5-week period. Not seasonally adjusted is used to describe data series that have NOT been subjected to the seasonal adjustment process.
The Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) program collects reports on mass layoff actions that result in workers being separated from their jobs. Monthly mass layoff numbers are from establishments which have at least 50 initial claims for unemployment insurance (UI) filed against them during a 5-week period. Extended mass layoff numbers (issued quarterly) are from a subset of such establishments--where private sector nonfarm employers indicate that 50 or more workers were separated from their jobs for at least 31 days. Note: As of 2004, in response to budget cuts, the BLS eliminated data roll-ups by NAICS code, with the results that data values are only available for prinvate, nonfarm industries as a general category since that time. Further, on March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the-board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) as required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. The Bureau of Labor of Statistics eliminated the Mass Layoffs programs as part of its effort to achieve the mandated loss of appropriations.
This dataset uses the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
