Layoffs
Layoffs is a market topic in economics that SentiSense tracks across news and social media.
About
Layoffs is a market topic covering employer-initiated job cuts and workforce reductions. The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 requires employers with 100 or more employees to give 60 days of written notice before a plant closing or mass layoff, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics counts layoffs and discharges in its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. Investors follow announcements because they can point to cost cutting, restructuring or weaker demand.
