Is this data verified?

Yes, each & everything we report on 6figr.com is verified numbers only. As our cornerstone differentiator is authentic & accurate data.

What is the source of this data then?

It's a mandate that companies must file reports about layoffs to the government so that unemployment benefits are not abused.
