Half of American Companies Set to Cut Jobs After Hiring Surge

Breitbart

Numerous companies across the United States are planning to trim their employee numbers, Fox Business reported Friday.

The outlet continued:

That’s according to a new survey published on Thursday by consultant PwC, which last month polled more than 700 U.S. executives and board members from various industries. About half of respondents said they are preparing to reduce headcount — or already have — while 52% have implemented hiring freezes.

On top of that, roughly 46% of companies are either dropping or reducing signing bonuses, which became commonplace over the past year as businesses tried to lure in new workers amid an increasingly tight labor market. Another 44% are rescinding offers entirely, the survey showed.

Home goods company Wayfair decided to cut approximately 870 workers to help manage operation costs and “realign its investment priorities” following the coronavirus pandemic, the Associated Press (AP) reported this week.

In 2020, the company reported a 55 percent sales growth because people were buying home furnishings. more here

There’s no recession in site, folks, now shut up and drive around to all the closed malls and spend your money saved on cheap gas, again thanks to Joetato.

    Unfortunately, these can’t be removed from office come November.
