Layoff notice, what does the 60 days mean?

My employer announced that the site will close and gave us written notice. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I do not know if I should start looking now or wait for severance news.

The workforce board ran a rapid-response session for us with résumé help and information on benefits. Ask if yours will.

Start your search early. I wish I had begun the day of the notice.
