Challenger Report on Corporate Layoffs for December, 2007

Earlier today, the outplacement company Challenger released their report on corporate layoffs for December, 2007:

U.S. Job Cuts Announced during December, 2007: 44,416

If corporate layoffs are high, consumer spending may decline, since there would be fewer people with steady jobs.

When corporate layoffs are low, this can mean that the job market is relatively tight, which can be a harbinger of wage inflation.
