Their last report said that 240,000 US workers were layed off in November. 62,000 in California alone. :~ Like someone else's mama always said "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." -c

how does a news agency get to do it "for free" ? if there's a way to do it for free, then that's what the govt should be doing. -c

i guess that's true. i'm not sure it's enough to go on, but it would probably get you in the ballpark. but, my real point for the post was... 240,000 people were layed off... in november. -c
