Relocations
Layoffs and closures where the source explicitly names a country to which work or production is moved. The job figure is that of the report; not every job cut is recreated in the destination.

How the follow-up works
The daily research checks announced cases older than three months against new sources: has a plant opened, a programme finished, a project stopped or a closure been averted? The outcome is added to the entry as a dated update with its source. Without evidence the case stays open; cases checked and still running are checked again after a few months.
The headline figures on the start page leave out cancelled investments and averted job cuts; for scaled-back cases they count the number actually realised. A relocation is only recorded when the source names the destination country.
