U.S. mass layoff events rose in January = 1,534 mass layoffs involving 149,799 workers + More Coloradans lose jobs in January mass layoffs

[mEDITate-OR:
miss the fact that as new claims went down mass layoffs went up
and that these are private jobs, not public jobs.
----------
IF you add back in the announced teacher jobs losses...
the total is much different than is currently being reported.
So, order yourselves another bottle of Champaign and party on.
