I was just reading that story before I typed that, like yeah 50k more workers getting thrown like dirt to the wind, and that's just the planned layoffs reported thus far, because a gagglefuck of capitalist shitheads on Wall Street and their oracles are throwing tantrums about interest rates or whatever and the quarterly projections may not support the usual infinite growth on the workers' backs this year. In other words, it's been about 5-8 years so the working class is due for another squeeze in the ol' vice as per usual with capitalism.
I've been seeing what must be the effects of this crap in the job listings for my area. It's the most discouraging I've seen since like 2009. College degree or not, there's little to choose from and the competition for the scraps is undoubtedly high once again. What's also fun is I really don't want the job I have now but if I quit I am completely fucked and would be getting a much lower wage even if I did find something else.
Being unable to quit is the capitalists dream employee.
Next to 'undocumented' workers that is..
Oh yeah, barring actual slavery like our Wonderful private prisons 'employ'
