NOTE: The estimated number of workers covered by a certification is not an exact figure. It is an estimate developed at the time the certification is issued. A certification covers all members of the affected worker group laid off during the approximately 3-year period covered by the certification. Over the course of time, additional workers may be laid off, workers who were laid off may be recalled, or planned layoffs may not occur.
