Im looking for a lifestyle change and I see an opportunity in this lay off.

Taxes are high when you employ people, plus it is really difficult to lay off workers, so some companies are afraid to employ, so the production is much slower, the unemployment rate higher, and power of consumption lower.

Yes - for the most part Cat drives the economy but I think we are at or near the bottom - as far as lay-offs go.

But that will be coming to a end next week as layoffs have been handed down and I didn't make the cut.

Internet news is that GM will be closing four plants in MI in 2017 and layoff ~1700 employees, so maybe this is not quite the right time just yet.Don't mean to throw cold water on Detroit but IMO, it's much like waiting for the popcorn to start popping - - it takes awhile.

During the Great Recession few residents lost their jobs because big employers like Apple and Google had no layoffs to speak of.

(she lost her job due to layoffs in 2011 and lack of senority).Next was leased to in August again.  

If you use robinhood it's no commissions.

I use Robinhood because they take zero commission. 

closely at any deals in the Gillette area as all of the layoffs will probably be driving prices down for the next few years.
