List of US companies that have laid off employees

Yahoo had some layoffs too

check this out http://www.techcrunch.com/layoffs/

warner
paramount
universal
makro/metro/saturn/mediamarkt
about 20% of all staff (also in Europe)

JDL Media Inc.

Layoffs were unsustainable

This is the heroic resistance of the former employees.

Holy shit. Thats a serious find Sagi. Thanks.

Fuck thats a lot of tech people unemployed. Some really talented and well trained and educated people in those numbers for sure.

I small city i live in is seeing some really bad times...

I main lumber mill closed...

the circuit city here obviously...

harry and david... a world wide shipping merchant of fruits n shit, some of you im sure have received a harry and david gift basket at one time or another... 10% of their full time work force laid off...

a couple hand fulls of small businesses...

Getting hti hard here...

Forgot one :

Jon Clark Enterprises 1 job (Self)

Yeah it's Worldwide though. Not all USA. But a pretty good place to see the tech companies laying off.

McDonalds is expanding

some scary number there

My accountant says he is working thu-out weekends for his other clients to get approval to fire staff from most of his clients. Retail, wholesale, transport and production are hit hardest he says.

Starbucks had some sizable layoffs too.

i can't imagine what the new numbers are going to be fucking scary

unemployment rate will go to 10% before may i predict.

If we used the real numbers and not the odd ball adjusted to rules pulled out of politicians asses I am positive we are already way above 10%.

Announced so far

Does not seem like that includes everyone. Forget about the assorted small businesses and part time people. I do not see listing for like when Mervyns closed up shop (west coast based). Like a whole crap load of stores just went poof.

Yeah most of those look to be fortune 50 type co's. We'll probably see another 500k+ month like last. Next month when the retail chains have to start reporting their earnings is going to be the real bloodbath.

for al lthe job cuts...go to a mall or anywhere...they are packed...weird

The malls here are not packed.
Also overheard more than one person in last couple months (since Christmas shopping) of comments like, "well ya I can afford it - I got a new credit card".

Meanwhile I pay my shit and they cut my damn limits.

Wow...Seems like a ton in Israel.

I went to the local mall this weekend and it was packed. Had to wait in line at the food court and all.

I also went to a kids pizza place this weekend. It's one of those places where you eat and they have a huge play area. It was fucking packed. I mean it was packed so bad you couldn't get to the area where the food was.

Doesn't take into account companies with smaller work forces that are therefor not required to publicize the layoffs. Many states and local municipalities have laws stating that layoffs of certain sizes or from companies of a certain size must inform them that they are about to get slammed by welfare and unemployment.

Think of the 100,000's of mom and pops that laid off 1 to 10 employees. Makes that number look small...

I don't know if that is true about the malls?, I just came back from two big malls here in the valley and they were very slow. I know it is a Monday, but there was hardly anyone there. I saw a lot of 50-70% off sales.

What I see happening here is if you have money, you are going to hold on to it. I think the days of going out and spending your money on non essential items are over. Unless your a porn chick who just got paid $2,000 for a shoot and now goes to Melrose Ave and buys a $2,000 purse.

Sad... really sad.

Nah dont you mean spends 2,200 on a purse (tax and all) and is now begging for more work because she is short on rent?

fuckedcompany.com isn't around anymore?

So true, although who now is dumb enough to pay that for a scene nowadays?.

The broker they are, the more they need me.

From the US Govt. Bureau of Labor Statistics:

Good luck Mr. President, and to us all...

ADG

An article on yahoo news said this was the most layoffs since 1945. Now that is pretty scary

I wonder if anyone is thinking about Landscaping / Construction jobs, getting back to the real work that pays decent money and currently is in a large way going to the illegals that are willing to work.

We just have to much fluff jobs, and not enough real hard work going on.

What the fuck is Alcoa?

I smell a new world oder coming one of these days. I truly hope not, I am glad we have millions of firearms here. It is just very troubling times we are living in. I don't see a way out of this.

This truly a global problem that we are facing now.

well this was a depressing thread...

hummm... exciting life ...

Hiring 12,000

http://www.citycentercareers.com

Alcoa = ALuminum Corporation Of America, the world's third largest producer of aluminum, with over 107,000 employees, pre-layoffs.

ADG

They make aluminum products.

just about every company is laying people off...

Thank for the list.

I guess the super 1% rich are holding onto their money. no tickle down

Yo, how about including some adult companies in this list and keeping it relevant. LOL

This is a GOOD idea for a site that might BLOW UP with mainstream traffic. You may want to check fuckedcompany.com -- I haven't checked it in a while but it used to track tech companies. Techcrunch.com also has a dot com layoff counter.

However, since your idea is for ALL industries, you might want to build a site based on this, layer in social networking and forums so the members generate the content.

If you need help promoting it, I offer manual directory submissions, social bookmarking, article submissions, and mainstream forum seeding

Yesterday in my area GM (general motors) went from 3 shifts to 1, Delphi (auto parts supplier) cut another 99 jobs on top of the hundreds they've already cut this year. A company called AJAX (the made specialty casts and dies) Got rid of half of their work force........and the worst sign of all, Jakes Bar, the local watering hole has closed their doors for the last time. When the bars start to close, your screwed.

fucked company is sorta fucked LOL

he is done

Huge layoffs in Sweden as well.
