Incomplete list of job loss announcements and shutdowns.
“If you grow up low income and manage to get higher education, which few people manage to do, the potential for that to lift you solidly up into the middle-class and upper-middle class is more limited than we thought.”-Brad Hershbein, W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment
A Brookings Institute study (A college degree is worth less if you are raised poor) revealed some surprising data about what is now obviously the ‘lie’ of higher education: Using decades worth of data the researchers discovered that having a four year college degree does absolutely nothing to help low income people get out of poverty! It seems only people from wealthy families benefit from a college degree! I can attest to that; I’m from “low income” and I got a bachelors degree (later in life, after decades of working for the Man) and my income actually went down after I graduated. I’ve gotten numerous rejection letters, where as before I got the degree I could walk in anywhere and get hired! What sup wit dat?

In San Jose, evil vulture capitalist investment company Fenox Venture Capital was caught employing slaves! The U.S. Department of Labor charged the capitalists of “misclassifying” 56 employees as “unpaid interns”, when they were, in fact, full paid employees. Fenox Vulture Capital must now pay out $331,269 USD in back wages: “A large number of employees worked for free providing hundreds of man hours for this company to make a profit. For them to not even pay minimum wage in [San Francisco] Bay is really appalling.”-Michael Eastwood, U.S. Department of Labor

Honeywell eliminating at least eight jobs. Sky Hotel 39 Degrees issued a shutdown WARN, 91 jobs lost. Texas based insurance referrer All Web Leads issued a shutdown WARN, 103 jobs lost! It might be connected to the November 2015 takeover of rival InsuranceQuotes.

Florida: Wholesale soup maker Chef Creations is no more, they’ve sold out to a Massachusetts corporation, resulting in 110 Chef Creations HQ employees, in Orlando, becoming jobless between April and July!

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) no longer issues mass layoff reports: “On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the- board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products. This news release is the final publication of monthly mass layoff survey data.”
