Rhode Island Mass Layoff Statistics

The Mass Layoff Statistics Program (MLS) is a Federal/State Cooperative Statistical Program which uses the states' Unemployment Insurance databases to identify, describe and track the effects of major job cutbacks on both a statewide and national level.  In Rhode Island, whenever 25 or more initial claims are filed against a single company, during a 5-week period, a "potential mass layoff" is considered to have occurred.  Employers identified as having a "potential mass layoff" are contacted by phone to determine the reason for and duration of the layoff, the number of workers involved, and the recall expectations.
