Not only is this valuable to job seekers, but for business analysts, business strategists, traders, vendors, financial analysts, financial advisors, and others who are interested in companies that contract.
Updates job cuts and rumors this week were in government, healthcare, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, financial and banking, and publishing.
Inclusion on this list does not mean that the industry is declining, as are those of the same area appeared on the Who's Hiring "section released 10/19/09.
