"Challenger... data...showed...the number of layoffs in February was 41 percent higher than in February 1998 and the highest February number since 1993"

from Tuesday's Market Wrap

P.S. One thing that strikes me: all the fudge-able data coming from the government--CPI, GDP, Unemployment--looks very good by historical standards, while all the relatively objective data--the number unemployment claims filed, the number of bankruptcies filed, the number of layoffs reported, profits of publicly traded companies etc.--looks moderate to crappy by historical standards.
