Whaaaat? Jobs losses because they couldn't hire people? Hiring people would be adding jobs, would it not? Did they fire or lay people off because they couldn't get to the office? Granted, I'm under the influence of medication at the moment so maybe it's just me but, this doens't make sense.
Even in bad times there is turnover, some people are always leaving jobs so if the weather causes a delay in hiring replacements I suppose it could result in more unemployment.
