seems to me what's new about an old disease here is that it has clearly jumped species and there are economic ramifications well worth noting. here's some jobs data to go with the new "hunger" crisis A report released by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a firm that tracks job cuts, said the 133,714 layoffs in December were the largest number recorded in the eight years they have been tracking them. According to their report, job cuts during the first six months of 2000 averaged 37,237 per month, totaling 223,421 layoffs. During the last six months of 2000, however, job cuts jumped 75 percent higher, to 309,539 or 65,090 jobs per month. Challenger's report cites that in the auto industry alone job cuts tripled in 2000, from 27,779 cuts in 1999 to 85,231 in 2000. Layoffs have affected a broad range of industries, impacting almost every area of the country.
