Augusta Sportswear in Grovetown (93 workers, filed Oct 7, 2025) left the 12-month window this week. RATP Dev USA was missing from earlier versions and is now counted. Wellstar announced 761 job cuts in July, but the state had received no WARN notice for Augusta and the company has not said how many are local, so they are not counted. This list comes from public WARN aggregators and the South Carolina Department of Commerce report, and may be incomplete. Georgia's own public WARN table was not current, so the live version should read the state list directly.
