Incomplete list of U.S. job loss announcements and shutdowns.
Beware of all the rosy job creation data, remember, people who get laid off but get a severance are not counted in official unemployment numbers. In most states people who work for religious institutions and then lose their jobs are not counted in the official unemployment data. Also, if you break down the official government data the majority of new jobs went to migrants/refugees, not U.S. citizens (read more in Washington DC below).
Arizona: In Tempe, after 49 years the Student Book Center shutting down by the end of the month, the greedy property owner sold the property.
California: In Santa Monica, restaurant Aestus shutdown today.
Florida: After surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions, Florida Book Store in Gainsville shutting down on Wednesday. It’s being consolidated with the University of Florida’s on-campus bookstore.
Idaho: The state Department of Agriculture continues its dismal farm report by saying all but two types of crops will lose money this year. The two money makers are sugar and barley. Snake River Sugar Company-Amalgamated Sugar expects as much as $900-million USD in revenues for 2015. But that increased revenue doesn’t translate into job creation, Mark Duffin of the Idaho Sugarbeet Growers Association says actual sugar production employment has been going down due to increased use of new technologies.
Kansas: State and federal data shows The Sunflower State lost a net 3-thousand 7-hundred nonfarm jobs in April, and for the past 12 months Kansas had a net 0% growth! Kansas has been losing jobs since 2008. Wichita Public Schools shutting down Metro-Meridian alternative high school (school for nonconformists) due to lack of taxpayer funding.
Massachusetts: After 59 years god powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ Presentation of Mary Early Childhood Program, due to the economy: “When we looked at all the resources available we realized we just didn’t have the resources to continue. We wanted to continue serving as long as we could, but realistically we can’t….”-Sister Janice Perrault
Ohio: “If there’s jobs out there, somebody ought to know about it.”-Frank Lamar, retired Ford employee commenting on claims that there are 1-thousand 5-hundred jobs available in Lima, yet (according to employment officials) very few people are applying for them.
Pennsylvania: Presbyterian/Agnostic Warren Buffett owned Kraft-Heinz moving its Lehigh Valley Grey Poupon production to Michigan, because it’s being paid half-a-million dollars by Michigan taxpayers and $17-million USD by private investors. Also, Kraft-Heinz is moving its Lehigh Valley Tassimo coffee production to Canada, claiming that the majority of Tassimo customers live in Canada. The moves will cost Pennsylvania more than 450 jobs!
Texas: That which cannot be named powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘its’ Temple Beth El in San Antonio. Services are being consolidated with other Reform Jewish operations due to crashing attendance. However, local news media says membership at almost all Reform Jewish temples is declining.
Washington DC: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 65.2% of foreign born people (which includes refugees and illegal immigrants) have jobs in the U.S., compared to 62.2% of native born people. In other words, it’s the migrants/refugees that are driving up positive employment numbers. After 12 years Domku Bar & Cafe shutting down next month, the owner blames the greedy landlord for jacking up the rent by 66%!
130,000 migrants ‘disappeared’ from Germany!
Germany posts record government surplus…..Credit illegal immigrants!
Germany admits to ‘creating’ jobs for illegal immigrants, beggars taxpayers for more money!
Conflicting reports about refugees & migrants flooding into Europe!
California schools become official safe houses for illegal immigrants!
“It’s part of our new business model…” Idaho hit with skyrocketing poor migrants!
Obama to give jobs to thousands of immigrants!
Banks & illegal drugs cause illegal immigration to U.S.!
immigration a False Flag op to make corporations richer!
WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification.
I found a 2010 AFL-CIO analysis (titled The Public Availability of WARN Notices: Lack of Accessibility and Disclosure…) which proves what I’ve been suspecting in my search of state WARN notices; most states are not complying with federal WARN regulations and are not publicizing or tracking mass layoffs.
Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed!
Employees of religious non-profits might not qualify for unemployment assistance: “If the non-profit organization is a church, you may or may not be entitled to unemployment. It all depends upon state regulations for church employers. In many cases, churches are allowed to set their own rules regarding unemployment benefits, meaning the church can choose whether to offer benefits to former employees.”
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.”
