    Because both January and February are traditionally slow months, but next year will be worse than normal. My guess is that there will be a lot of firing, in part because many businesses will be slow, and second because they can’t afford to hold people on for things to look up in in March/spring, and third because many probably will be skeptical that things will look up enough to keep people on anyway.

    But all in all it’s mostly a gut feeling from 30 years in business, and although I am not American, I know business in USA is harsher regarding these things than what is normal in Europe.
