We also looked at how concerned people actually are about being laid off in the next 12-months. But, with every cloud is a silver lining. In this case, that silver lining is for employers who expressed that there will be some major benefits with a more balanced job market.  If didn’t tune into that episode, you can find the link in the show notes: https://happymr.com/ep-562-intergenerational-views-on-the-job-market/ Today, we will be addressing: * How are generation preparing for changes to the job market? * What advice would members of different generations give to the unfortunate souls that are laid off? Why Do Companies Do Layoffs?  Bad news is bad news. But, understanding the why can help many of us mentally cope with aftermath.  So, you may find it helpful to understand the business rational for layoffs. And, by understanding a bit more about why companies do layoffs you are more likely to recognize when they are coming and be proactive to avoid or even profit from them.  Overall, the 300 people we interviewed were positive about the job market despite the difficulties many companies are and will face because of the recession.
