They Furloughed 41,000 workers. Tilman Fertitta's Landry's inc. owns the restaurant chain. This interesting because he was recently interviewed where he explained that he always leverages his current restaurants in order buy others. If he has used other businesses as collateral than he may loose more than Cheesecake Factory. 3,283,000 + 41,000 = 3,324,000 and counting. I estimate 6 million+ by April 3.
