Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) for Alaska
Due to 2013 federal sequestration budget reductions, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has eliminated the Mass Layoffs Statistics program effective June 30. This halts Alaska’s collection and publication of 2013 layoff data, but data for 2007 through 2012 will remain on the web page.
