    Yes I know, but I am still in contact with many former Indian colleagues still working (for now) at the big management consultant firms.

    Sometimes the Yahoo boards throw you a bone or two. You just gotta filter the filth from the fact.

  7. um thats why the govt. releases compiled unemployment data so you don't have to sift though each company.

    Companies lay off peopel all the time. There are more layoffs now than usual, but far less severse than that of 1991, 1982, or 1974.

  9. 61,000.


    Be careful posting facts, though. Some of the bulls stuck in long positions are very sensitive when facts detrimental to their positions are disseminated, and get all fairied up with one star trigger fingers when they see anything factual posted, stock_turdler and like-minded knucklescrapers chief among them -
