In the past week, I have had two friends told they were being down-sized
from their jobs.  One had four days of notice that her branch office was
being closed and that she was out of a job.  The other was told her
university office is closing in June and that she will have an opportunity
to apply for other jobs as long as she is flexible about her requirements.

I've been jittery about the economy for some time.  I wonder if others of
you have seen an increase of people you know losing jobs due to company
contraction.
