And Axiant LLC, a legal debt collection company that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November, said it eliminated 51 jobs in Nashville last month.

There's an eye opener.

[Enterprise]

Harry Reid would say that the layoffs are good news.

[Parley Baer]

The government sector is hiring using money from the “future”.

[pnh102]

All “unexpected” during this “recovery,” right?

[Arkansas Tider]

I live in the TN Valley and this is not a shock to me, folks will feed their kids before the pay a debt collector that pisses them off every day. Can’t get blood from a turnip comes to mind.

[GeronL]

Sudden?

Didn’t see those bad economic times a coming around the bend?

Hey next week the pony express will deliver news of the recession! Did you guys know Abe Lincoln got shot??

[Blood of Tyrants]

The economy is so bad....

....that the debt collectors are laying off!

[cranked]

Channeling Reid: This is good news, right? Idiot.

CORRECTION:

A darn shame.

[Popman]

Obama flushed the economy and it's slowly turning round and round the porcelain bowl.

[Hardastarboard]

I’m missing your point. That’s a map of Arkansas’ voting patterns, and while it’s encouraging, I don’t see how it ties to Tennessee?

[muglywump]

(Remember to factor in the bad weather.)

[martin_fierro]

See #11.

Was that so hard?

[A message]

Between March 1 and March 8, the six Middle Tennessee companies announced that they have eliminated or plan to eliminate a total of 279 jobs.

By Democrat standards that's a full blown economic recovery going on in Middle Tennessee.

Now if only 0bamacare would pass these companies would hire 1,785,432,000 employees. ( 1,785,432,000, I came up with that figure after consulting Joe Biden.)

B-B-But I thought we were recovering. It was all gonna be okay. Jobs are being saved. Jobs are being created. It's gonna be great. Maybe they ran out of shovels in Tennessee.

Did any of you layoffees vote for nobama? If so, how’s that hopey-changey thing workin’ ya? For the othersd, I’m sorry we have such a marxist as President. Don’t give up hope.

[Lorianne]

Sudden?
As in unexpected?

[ReformedBeckite]

Some of those job losses have been anticipated for months.

!!!!!unexpected!!!!!

The borders jobs is probably a combination of season jobs and a fact that more people are using those computerized book readers like kindle. The Dell jobs well that speaks for it's self.
