Great news Only 37,701 layoffs last month (July 2013)

Great news Only 37,701 layoffs last month (July 2013) A research firm announced layoffs fell almost 5% from June.  In total, between June and July, there were almost 80,000 layoffs.  Read the numbers here. I can appreciate that economists like this dip from June to July.  Especially government economists. But here is the reality Im guessing every layoff probably severely affects about six people: 1. The person who is laid off, 2. The persons spouse (assumption: 1 spouse) 3. The persons kids (assumption: 2 kids) 4. The persons parents (assumption: 2 parents) (speaking to my assumptions not everyone will have a spouse, but an ex that doesnt get alimony or child support because there is no income is also affected. Some people dont have any kids, others have a lot more than 2, and some people have only one living parent while others have 2 parents and 2 step parents so Im guessing for every one person laid off there is an average of 6 others who are closely affected) So the number is really not 80,000 people affected more like 480,000 people. Is that great news? Tell these people about JibberJobber  to organize their job search! Tell these people about 51 Alternatives to a Real Job! Tell these people to get started on the right foot, with the first  30 days plan! Help these people!  It is more than just tens of thousands that are affected Great news Only 37,701 layoffs last month (July 2013) A research firm announced layoffs fell almost 5% from June.  In total, between June and July, there were almost 80,000 layoffs.  Read the numbers here.
