God’s immigrant help NGO Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People is warning of increased illegal immigration to the United States caused by the crashing & burning of the Honduran economy.  It’s partly blamed on a crackdown on illegal drug trafficking which has revealed even multi-national corporations and the government are involved, like Jaime Rolando Rosenthal Oliva owned Grupo Continental-Continental Bank.  Of Romanian ancestry Rosenthal Olivia got his business and civil engineering degrees from MIT in the U.S. (just like so many other evil people)!  The latest layoffs involve 7-thousand government employees!  At least 1.5-million Hondurans are currently unemployed and more layoffs are expected. (that’s equivalent to the entire population of the U.S. state of Idaho, which is much larger geographically, by almost double the square miles)  (Obama orders new War on Drugs targeting legal prescription drug users & his own ObamaCare!)

Italy based drugs maker Perrigo eliminating 8-hundred jobs and selling off its U.S. Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements division!

Failed State Alabama: The city of Bayou La Batre laid off six employees without warning.  The city is in the financial hole by at least $750-thousand USD.

California: In Saint Helena, after 28 years Tra Vigne restaurant shutting down right before Xmas, the lease was not renewed.

Florida: Tampa based restaurant chain owner Bloomin’ Brands is in trouble (as usual), but so much so this time that investor analyst Zacks has told shareholders to dump their stocks in the corporation.  Stocks of Bloomin’ Brands downgraded to Sell status, the company failed to show any significant increase in revenues in its last report but is still considered to have too much debt.  The debt is probably from all the new restaurants Bloomin’ Brands has opened in the past year.  The food corporation controls restaurant chains known as Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, and Roy’s.  Interesting side note, several of Bloomin’ Brands restaurants have suffered fires this year; the Outback Steakhouse at the Meridian Crossroads plaza in Meridian, Idaho (blamed on corroded gas line).  Then two months later another Meridian, Idaho, Outback Steakhouse caught fire, this time at the Bonita Crossroads Shopping Center, firefighters said it “seemed to be electrical”.  The Carrabba’s in Suntree, Florida, caught fire last week with initial reports saying the fire started on the roof around an air conditioning unit.  In June, the West Springfield, Massachusetts, Carrabba’s caught fire twice, first initial reports said the fire somehow started in between the metal and rubberized roofing materials around a vent fan, then the next morning the kitchen caught on fire!  It’s not just fires, the Richland, Washington, Bonefish Grill was vandalized with a blowtorch in June.

Idaho: Yet again, Idaho State University reports crashing enrolment (what I call the Disappearing Students Syndrome affecting schools across the U.S.).   This year’s admission (as in they’re admitting they lost students, because in recent years past they lied and said enrollment was up) stated that they lost 671 students compared to Fall 2014!

Failed State Illinois:  Peoria based Caterpillar bribed 2-thousand 1-hundred employees to take early retirement!    In Aurora, after less than a year the massive Cosmopolitan Marketplace grocery store shutting down!  The shutdown was revealed by signs that read “All Sales Final”.  A local alderman blames the shutdown on lack of sales.  In Danville, after eight years consignment store Kid’s Kloset shutting down when the inventory is gone.

Iowa:  In Keokuk, after 88 years (surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions) Johnson-Schmidt Menswear shutting down as soon as the inventory is gone,  because the owner says he can’t eat it “Because it doesn’t taste good with salt and pepper”.

Kansas: Cell phone company Sprint is eliminating jobs, but now it says it doesn’t have the money to cover the two weeks of severance originally promised.  As a result they will cut it down to one week of severance for all layoff notifications made after January 2016.  After 16 years E.G. Geller shutting down their Country Club Plaza shoe store in January 2016, blaming crashing sales caused by most of the Plaza’s tenants shutting down.

Maryland: After 32 years The Yule Cupboard shutting down before Thanksgiving, blaming “…a smaller clientele. Today’s retail world is so different. We realize that you have to have an online presence basically, and I’m not willing to do that. We’re just too hands-on. We buy what we see, we don’t buy from a catalog…”  In Cross Keys, after 40 years the Jones & Jones boutique shutting down by December.

Massachusetts: Boston Weak based evil holding company State Street warned of layoffs due to flat profits and declining assets (running out of cash).

Failed State Michigan: What automotive industry recovery?  General Motors (GM) eliminating another 5-hundred jobs as it shuts down its 2nd shift in the Orion Assembly factory!  GM administrators say they must “align” their production to meet demand.  The city of Detroit has already eliminated 1-thousand 1-hundred water department employees and now news reports say another 1-hundred will be let go!  In Kalamazoo, after 50 years Wayside West sports bar shutdown.  Local news reports blame a shooting that happened last year, but in reality the property was sold-off.

Minnesota: After 115 years God refuses to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ First Presbyterian Church in Wilmont.  The Rapture has resulted in 12 members being Left Behind.

Nebraska: In Omaha, God refuses to stop ObamaCare from forcing Catholic Health Initiatives from eliminating 60 jobs.

New York:  Premier Laser Spa of Albany now chapter 11 bankrupt, local news reports say the company hasn’t been able to pay its advertising debts.  TD Bank revealed it will shutdown its Glens Falls office. The dumb administrators opened too many offices too close together.

Oklahoma:  Halliburton killing more jobs in The Sooner State.  In Duncan, 30 former Halliburton employees reported to the local unemployment office on Friday, that’s how the layoffs were discovered.

Oregon: In Prineville, Woodgrain Mill shutting down 55 remaining jobs lost.  The mill has been struggling since last year’s roof collapse, which forced 2-hundred people out of work!   

Pennsylvania: State budget cuts forcing pre-Kindergarten programs to shutdown.  Local news reports say some pre-K operations are trying to stay open by asking employees to work for free!  In Jim Thorpe, after surviving The Great Depression Dugan’s General Store cannot handle this so called ‘recovery’ from The Great Recession and will shutdown.  News reports revealed the current owners have been floating the store using lottery winnings they won back in 2000!

Rhode Island: Bankrupt busted City Sports shutting down their Providence store at the end of the month due to crashing sales.  It’s the eighth City Sports store to shutdown.

South Carolina:  ObamaCare killing off yet another affordable insurance co-op, this time it’s non-profit Consumers’ Choice Health Insurance being forced to shutdown, leaving 67-thousand customers without affordable insurance!

Texas:  Retailer JCPenney eliminated another 3-hundred jobs at its Plano HQ!  In Victoria, a Subway sandwich shop on Main and Constitution streets shutdown.

Utah: Mormon Zions Bank reported what they think is good news, they’ve increased loans to small businesses in Idaho (71% increase) and Utah (29% increase).  Here’s why it’s bad news; those loans are to help companies make payroll, in other words companies still can’t generate enough revenue to pay their employees with cash.   Zions Bank administrators claim their debt financing of regional businesses created more than 5-hundred jobs!  Jobs created by pure debt is not a good thing, debt financing of things like payroll is one of the main reasons Corporate America is in such financial trouble.  In Cottonwood Heights, police are being blamed for the shutdown of the 25 years old Canyon Inn.   The owner said he’s tired of cops intimidating his customers into staying away: “I lost, they won.”-Jim Stojack

Washington DC:  JUST A FEW OF THE POTENTIAL JOB LOSSES DUE TO PROPOSED 2017 MILITARY BASE SHUTDOWNS  

20 – 22 October 2015: “…an absolute nightmare!”

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed

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.”
