And when I am hiring, the more competition for my openings the better.

If you get laid off you will send out thousands of resumes, get maybe one or two replies and no interviews. After about a year of that you may have a different opinion.

Last time I went looking for work, I sent out thousands of resumes, and literally had to hire an answering service to keep up with the calls. Those were the days.

If it goes as you say, then my opinion would likely change, though how is tough to predict -- my mind sometimes works in strange ways.
