One of the most overlooked stories of 2001 involved how many companies making huge layoffs made good profits at the same time. For example, New York-based financial firm Citigroup Inc. said it would slash 7,800 jobs in November 2001 after making $10.3 billion in the first nine months of 2001, $13.5 billion in 2000, and $9.9 billion in 1999. Citigroup went on to record a $14.1 billion profit in 2001.
This booklet outlines what can be done by individuals, politicians, and businesses to help change the climate that allows such excesses. Among the 2 million to 2.5 million people laid off in 2001 - an enormously high number compared to recent previous years, though that rose to 3.6 million in 2008 - was the author who had worked as a reporter for The Dallas Morning News and related Belo Corp. newspapers for almost ten years. It's understandable to get mad after you're laid off, but it's also important to work for an environment where such layoffs are nonexistent. And it's important for those who survive layoffs to work for such an environment because you could be next.
