Re: Master List of National Job Losses

I was just talking to a neighbor about this today. I can't tell you how many people I know who have lost or fear imminently losing their jobs. So very scary because so many of these jobs (especially the six figure ones) are not coming back.

ETA Our converstaion was prompted by another home for sale in our development.
