[null and void]

Nearly 123,000 total.

This list is mostly layoffs reported under the WARN act. It does not capture small business layoffs.

All numbers are hard numbers, and don't include anyone whose job loss is not explicitly reported. "Massive layoff" "25% of employees" and "store closure" show as 0 jobs in the absence of a reported number.

Use whatever adjustment factor you wish to guesstimate the "true" number of jobs lost...

0bama’s plan to ELIMINATE the private sector is working. He won’t be happy until EVERYONE is working for the regime.

[concerned about politics]

Oboma has been hiring 101 government employees A DAY to make the numbers look good. The tax payers are on the hook for every one of them - $85,000 per year to start (and their totally awesome bennies on top of that, too).

We can afford it, though. He's printing 4 billion dollars a month, and borrowing 4.8 billion A DAY to pay for it all.

He's doing it for us - or so he claims.
