That's ok. The economy is adding about 30,000 new jobs a week.

I don't think this looks healthy.

And how many of those are outside the government?

The economy is adding about 30,000 new jobs a week.

So the 730 Whirlpool workers will need about 2190 of those new jobs to replace their income from their old jobs.

That's ok. The economy is adding about 30,000 new jobs a week.

"Whirlpool currently anticipates that the vast majority of the layoffs will be voluntary and many of those employees would be recalled within 18 months, as part of the normal attrition rate at the Fort Smith facility," said a statement by the company, which is buying Iowa-based Maytag Corp.

We're doomed, doomed!!! All these employees will probably be back within 18 months. Damn these greedy corporate bloodsuckers!!!
