The reason I started this blog was to highlight the employment picture and to list smaller layoff announcements that don’t get the attention of main stream media. There is a great deal of scattered job loss information, but I try to gather that information and present it in a manner that is concise and, hopefully, informative.
My name is Mike and I live in upstate NY, an area which hasn’t seen the financial destruction of housing and job loss that many other parts of the country have witnessed, yet the economic picture here is not rosy by any means. I have spent the last 20 years as a Quality Control Manager for a large environmental remediation firm and then as a Documentation Analyst for a large manufacturing operation. I have a little extra time to dedicate to this blog, since I am a 1099 and finished up a long term project a few months ago.
I hope to grow this site into a one-stop location for job information. That may take some time, since this is a one-person operation currently.
If you or your company need a technical writer, please feel free to contact me for further information on how I can be of assistance.
If you have any comments or suggestions on how The Layoff List can better serve you, please contact me at Mike (at) layofflist.org

hi, i’ve just linked to your blog on ours at http://fsn.typepad.com/blog/ because i think it’s a fascinating site and a real sign of the times that it even exists!
keep up the good work.
I see that you are having the same problems with this theme that I am. The column’s break and the right one goes underneath the left.. I seem to “fix” it when I uninstall a few of the plug ins.. thought maybe my twitter feed was messing it up so I removed, it seemed to work but now “broke” again on firefox but looks fine on safari. I really LOVE this theme and I don’t want to have to change but this is really frustrating to me as I”m sure it is to you! Let me know if you figure out a fix.
