Several New Jersey employers filed Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notifications in April, potentially affecting a total of 2,273 jobs across the state in 2026. AT&T is set to cut 87 employees at its Bedminster facility, effective May 4, and Bristol-Myers Squibb will lay off 206 employees between July and December, affecting workers based in New Jersey and some out-of-state employees. The layoffs are part of a multi-year effort to cut $2 billion in costs by 2027. The state Department of Labor requires employers to provide 60 days’ notice before mass layoffs or plant closings affecting 50 or more employees at a single site.
