So far in 2014, several companies have laid off a few hundred workers from their staff.

Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, companies must notify the government via the The Texas Workforce Commission of plant closings or mass layoffs within 30 days of cuts.

A "mass layoff" refers to a reduction of a workforce of at least 50 employees.

See above for what companies have already made announcements and cuts in Houston and across Texas.
