Pick any 10 large corporations, from any industry, across all sectors and Google to see if they're laying people off or have laid people off in the past year or two.
Here's what you will discover:
At least 7 out of 10 of those companies have laid people off recently, to one degree or another. And many are trying to hide them through "Stealth" layoffs, where they pick off 10-20 per week so they don't have to report via WARN or receive any media attention.
7 out of 10, at least. I know, I've tested it and that was the LEAST I came up with, usually more like 8-9 out of 10.
So tell me again about this "STRONG ECONOMY" Yeah, sure. Even in 2008-2009 there weren't this many layoffs, but the difference then was there was fair disclosure. Now it's a big coverup.
