layoffs

There’s an upside to not having a booming tech industry: not having a busting one, either. Nashville Business Journal editor Lance Williams said that the thing he notices most is that the city has a very broad-based economy.

A bad break this past month.

Time off for an injury, or a layoff.

From Naomi Snyder:

“I feel like a dog that’s been kicked out on the street,” said 43-year-old Donna Garcia, who has a high school diploma and was making nearly $15 per hour.

Companies are tightening their belts and that means closings and layoffs. Another company is laying off in Smyrna.

Tower Automotive has laid off 55 people from its Smyrna facility, according to documents filed with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce.

After more layoffs last week and a 52 percent stock decline in the past year, one might think the bad news was over at Gannett, parent company of The Tennessean.

It's no coincidence that there are more and more homeless women showing up on the streets every day....

If you were thinking about a place you could go to accurately predict the future, I bet the place you wouldn’t pick first would be The Onion, would it? Wrong, future breath.
