All choices have compromises. By choosing to reelect an anti-business President, Americans are now facing layoffs from companies that had hoped for a Romney Presidency and the repeal of Obamacare. Those hopes gone, companies large and small are letting people go. At least 10,000 people have been let go in the past 48 hours, and companies havent even begun layoffs in earnest.
A lot of conservatives seem to have recently discovered Daily Job Cuts as a way of tracking the carnage, but even though it is a good reference, it doesnt begin to capture the magnitude of loses we can expect. Small businesses who only have a handful of employees are going to layoff staff by ones and twos and threes, and that doesnt make even the local media. If someone postulates that weve already had 20,000-30,000 layoffs this week, Id have to say that is entirely plausible.
