The little town I live in has maybe 3,000 to 3,500 people in it and I am aware of about 30 layoffs in the last 60 days. 

i actually did skip the whole second page but i saw a few people talking about oil prices stabilizing around 100$ a barrel........Now that 2015 is more than 25% over and prices are still far from 100$ a barrel and i recently heard something about 100,000 layoffs in the oil industry in texas although i am not sure which part of texasanyone getting worried????

Today my realtor called..the buyer wants to back out for fear of possible layoffs at work.

I really wish I could have told me 10 years ago to lay off the bigger than I needed personal residence and toys

If you figure it out, please let me know well before it happens.Although if they add in higher taxes (for the so called rich), increased inflation (everyone enjoys this), and more corporate layoffs (inevitable when they raise taxes) we could see more serious problems in the not so distant future.But hey, more people will qualify for public housing, food stamps, "free" health care, etc...

Eddie, you need to lay off the kool-aid.

In fact, our markets might even get better if all those layoffs happened since they'd be forced to move out here where it's more affordable. 

That company is in serious trouble, as is evident by their layoffs and restructuring.

some more observations :- we hit the record low level of unemployment, less than 1% even, with (almost) nobody layoffs in retail industry- we hit a new record low of home delinquency, and there's almost no forced selling- San Francisco bay area market has a flat/up appreciation from May's data.

Layoffs already started in tech sector as well.
