U.S. planned layoffs surge in October-Challenger
Tuesday November 4, 10:02 am ET
NEW YORK, Nov 4 (Reuters) - The number of job cuts announced by U.S. employers surged 125 percent in October, after declining for two months, calling into question the strength of the recovery in the job market.
Planned layoffs at U.S. firms shot up to 171,874 jobs in October, from 76,506 in September, job placement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas said on Tuesday. Announced layoffs were at their highest since Oct. 2002, when 176,010 job cuts were announced.
"With factors like technology, outsourcing, and consolidation working against job creation, any job market rebound we see in the near future will be relatively small," said John Challenger, chief executive at Challenger, Gray & Christmas, in a statement.
das hat zwar noch keine Auswirkungen auf den am Freitag anstehenden Arbeitsmarktbericht, wirft aber nun wirklich kein gutes Licht auf den Arbeitsmarkt.
