Job layoffs have obviously hit people very hard this year. Millions of jobs have been cut leading to a variety of different problems. First, with human resource caps on hiring, there are fewer jobs now, left only to the elite and those who have superior skills or connections. Second, leftover employees will take on the burden of stress of the mess that their colleagues left for them after being laid off. Third, the increase in fear and anxiety in a bearish economy leaves little for people to look forward to.
