Yes, i know a couple. job losses have been mounting and it is getting ugly out there. I think eventually everything is going to turn around, but it might get worse before it gets better.

Yes, I do. A relative of mine worked in finance and computerization for the headquarters of a major upscale dining chain. He had been employed by them for almost four years. They had to let go about 1/3 of their personnel. They also closed a number of their restaurants and stopped construction on several others.

Yes, I know of several. One lost his job due to the planned capital project losing funding, thus not needing a project planner anymore. Several sales staff laid off.
