Oh my county always has layoffs everywhere. Getting a simple, crappy, low paying job here would be like trying to get an acting job in Hollywood, or CEO of a fortune 500 company :( It's sad, in my town you can be turned down by McDonalds and other fast food places.

Yes a lot of layoffs but not all related to oil prices.

Not yet. There are several refineries in my city and they have been hiring a lot of new people and doing a lot of expansion and upgrades on the plants. My neighbor works at one of the refineries and the money he makes is outrageous!

Not that I know of here---though in this neck of the woods, it is comprised primarily of silicone valley type IT and engineer types or federal government workers.
