Mostly blue collar type warehouse and assembly but lower level managers also. It’s used to be marketing graduates flooded the job market and it was tough getting a job. We have a entry level marketing position open, and HR isn’t even asking for any experience. A degree in marketing gets the job and we have zero, that’s zero applicants since spring.

The next group to experience layoffs will be companies affected by supply chain issues. If you don’t have the parts, you don’t need the workers.
