The US Just Had the Most Q1 Layoffs in a Decade (axios.com)

Posted by msmash on from the closer-look dept.

The U.S. saw its highest level of layoffs in a first quarter since 2009, data from staffing firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas released this week showed. From a report: Employers cut 190,410 jobs in the first 3 months of the year -- 10.3% higher than the number of layoffs announced in the fourth quarter of 2018 and 35.6% higher than job cuts announced in the same quarter of 2018. It's the highest number of job cuts in a quarter since 2015. The financial industry saw the third highest number of layoffs and the year-to-date total was 239% higher than it was in 2018.

    I hate lying faggots, what can I say? He claimed Kavanaugh's big impropriety was drinking beer. Not lying. It's just so pathetic what this Republican party has reduced itself to - lying treasonous incel faggots exclusively.

    Go get cancer from a windmill you goof.

    This is how democrats do. First they form the KKK to kill black adults, then they form Planned Parenthood to kill black babies. Now they're turning on homosexuals. Democrats will demonize any marginalized group to prop themselves up, just like the Nazis and Communists did. And they're making lists. AOC has hers and threatens people with it.
