A recent WARN notice has sent shockwaves through the Illinois job market. Imagine receiving those layoff emails just as your company is known for helping others find work.
The state of Illinois has been notified that a plant will be closing near the end of June which will result in the layoff of 281 workers based on information provided in the document.
The exact number is unknown, but there are multiple confirmations of reports that one of Illinois' largest grocery store chains just laid off hundreds of workers.
If you still have a job, be thankful. Not everyone can say that including 96 workers in Illinois that just learned they're going to be jobless at the end of March.
It appears that several hundred workers in Illinois were just handed their pink slip as a mass layoff has been reported from an Illinois manufacturing facility with employees notified just days ago.
It seems like a noble cause. A company in Illinois based around the concept of helping people rent on their way to ownership has suddenly announced mass layoffs which will result in 179 people being out of work.
It looks like there will soon be many more Illinoisans who will be looking for work after a notice to the state indicates a facility will be closing affecting more than one hundred.
