What counts?

This tracker counts every news event whose headline says layoff, lays off, job cuts or cuts … jobs, on any desk, except market and economy stories that only mention cuts. An event is one story however many outlets carried it, and it counts in one tracker only. Headline rules (layoffs, FDA approvals) are applied before the classifier's category; an FDA approval can be confirmed in the agency's own Drugs@FDA database. Events the classifier filed elsewhere are not counted here, so read the totals as a floor, not a census.
