<hopefully those getting laid off have some inkling and are prepared
skillwise and moneywise>

Yes, hopefully that is true, however, if the last several years of spending is any indication, then *they* are in trouble.....consumer debt is rising....retail spending is still strong (although weakening).....AND, most recently, the new trend is towards forced pay cuts versus layoffs....the skills may be there, however in a contracting economy, it would seem to me that the *moneywise* is the most important factor to be proficient in....
