Layoff Trackers

This announcement of 4,000 more layoffs at American Express made me think about layoff trackers.

I found a few and am listing them here.

Forbes Fortune 500 layoff tracker

Techcrunch has technical layoffs.

We have a layoff tracker blog.

Another is here.

A site devoted to layoff and employer stories, Telonu.

Slate has an interactive map of the job losses.

When you see this you will realize unemployment is at crisis levels.

Another "a little bit late"

I suspect Trapdoor Day will end up one of two ways: the stimulus money will be spent wisely and it will be no big deal, or it will be the final straw pushing us into wage/price deflationary spiral.
