Ready4Work: Exploring the Effects of Layoffs

And other news layoffs are an unfortunate reality in today's job market and our docu series Ready for Work. We explore what you can do to prepare for a possible pink slip. Here's a clip from the show lately, layoffs seem to be happening at a dizzying effect. Over the past 20 years, we have seen layoffs fluctuate based on the economy and other factors like the COVID-19 pandemic. But this year the tech industry has stolen the headlines with more than 200,000 jobs lost across dozens of companies. All of this causes anxiety for workers in every field. 40% of Americans have been laid off in their career and nearly half have lay off. Anxiety experts say if you think you are in danger of being laid off, you should have at least six months of expenses saved which is easier said than done. 30% of Americans only have enough savings to cover three months of expenses. 18% can cover 3 to 5 months, 30% for six months or more and 22% have no emergency savings at all.
