Nearly 2,000 workers will now get laid off in Ohio starting 2025 according to the latest WARN notice filings from businesses advising of upcoming layoffs.
As Ohio approaches the new year, recent data from the WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) tracker has revealed that thousands of layoffs are set to occur in the state in early 2025.
This information highlights a troubling trend in the job market that could have significant implications for both workers and the local economy.
Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, employers with more than 100 full-time employees are required to provide a 60-day notice before laying off 50 or more workers at a single location.
This law aims to protect employees by ensuring they have adequate time to prepare for the transition and seek new employment opportunities.
Employers must submit these notices to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, which keeps track of such layoffs.
The latest updates indicate that layoffs in Ohio are expected to occur between January and February 2025.
This follows a challenging year for the state, which has already experienced approximately 12,016 WARN layoffs across 92 different businesses.
Among the businesses that have filed WARN notices with the state, some are major employers in their respective industries.
- American Freight Group LLC. 62 job cuts by 2/3/2025.
- idX Corporation. 66 job cuts by 1/22/2025
- American Sugar Refining. 90 job cuts by 1/11/2025.
- Mobis North America. 210 job cuts by 1/5/2025.
- KUKA Toledo Production Operations LLC. 160 job cuts by 1/5/2025.
- FCA US. 1,134 job cuts by 1/5/2025.
- PPC Flexible Packaging LLC. 68 job cuts by 1/3.
These layoffs not only affect the employees directly involved but also have a ripple effect on the local economies, as reduced income can lead to decreased spending and further economic challenges.
The announcement of these layoffs comes at a time when many people are still recovering from the impacts of previous economic disruptions.
Workers facing layoffs may find themselves in a difficult position, needing to navigate a competitive job market while also dealing with the emotional and financial stress that comes with job loss.
