Employers took 1,626 mass layoff
actions in the month of May, affecting
more than 171,000 workers, according
to the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Those numbers show a sharp rise
when compared to previous months, and when
compared to the same month in previous
years. The message is clear: "We are seeing
the largest reduction in work force since the
early 1990s," says W. Randolph Loftis Jr.,
managing member of the employment law
firm Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLC.By Counsel to Counsel Editor Steven Andersen
