Hey Product Hunt! I built WARN Firehose because tracking US layoffs was unnecessarily hard. The WARN Act requires companies with 100+ employees to file public notices 60 days before mass layoffs. Great law — but the data is terrible to access. Each state has its own website with different formats. No central database. So I built one. What it does: Scrapes all 50 state workforce agencies daily, normalizes into a single searchable database. 131,000+ notices back to 1988, covering 14M+ workers. How to use it: Free REST API (100 calls/day), interactive charts, drill into any state/city/company/industry, webhook alerts, AI analysis on every page. Who it's for: Journalists (break stories before press releases), investors (60-day leading indicator), recruiters (source displaced talent), researchers (35+ years of data), workforce boards. Free tier is real — no credit card required. Paid plans from $19/mo. Built with Python, FastAPI, SQLite, and Claude for AI analysis. Would love your feedback!
