Title: 211,500 job cuts in January alone.
Post by: Bindare_Dundat on January 27, 2009, 07:09:33 PM

The bloodletting for the U.S. job market continues as companies across the economic spectrum announce a slew of work force reductions.

The job market continued to take a beating Tuesday, as six companies across several industries announced more than 11,500 job cuts Tuesday.

The huge number of job cuts pales only in comparison to Monday's statistics: seven companies issued job cut announcements totaling more than 71,400 layoffs.

In January alone, companies have announced more 211,500 job cuts.

Businesses know that the next three four years are going to be a disaster and are planning accordingly for higher taxes and inflation.

The current gvt should be happy 200K + people lost their jobs.

This means 200K people on the unemployment, some of them will got on various welfare programs... There might be 200K more Democratic voters!
