Layoff Chatter on Twitter

November, 2008 saw job losses upwards of 533,000 which was the worst in 34 years. According to the labor department unemployment rate rose to 6.7 percent last month which is the highest reading since 1993. That is terrible and that too so close to the holidays.

Twitter is one of the places to find out where the layoffs are taking place because some layoffs might not make it to front page news. I have put together this quick Google Maps Mashup of Twitter statuses of folks talking about layoffs.
