Z, > A large multinational firm just took over his company and just cut the salaries of everyone in his office by 1/3-2/3rds. ... But there's nothing available in his area that even pays as much as he's making now

So your dad's salary was cut by 33% to 66%, yet that's still above the jobs available in his area?

PM me if necessary. The way you described what's happening to your dad sounds pretty bad, but it doesn't add up.

Pretty much. I'd like to say this is just anecdotal and not representative of the overall job market, but I can't.
