I don't just see that companies are laying people off, I see where companies are closing down. I see where restaurant chains are closing many places across the country. I can go to my home page now and cut and paste an article where some big factory is shutting down. I saw yesterday where cardboard box plants were shutting down which is a double whammy, companies don't want boxes.

Employment should be up now for holiday workers.
