4% of my company got furloughed last week, with many being let go.

Anecdotal, but in the past couple of weeks, I've talked with four people who've lost their jobs. Three layoffs, and one guy who was told that his contract wouldn't get renewed at the end of the year due to lack of $$$$$..

They're all in the same location (NC) but in all different disciplines.

We're way overdue for some shakeups in the market, this might be the beginning of it. Or not. :-)

Stop believing your lying eyes and swallow the official numbers. Like a good comrade.
