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.
