This is week 29 of our reporting the long trend-line of layoffs that signal a further economic downturn in a country near you. Rising inflation and rising interest rate hikes are causing companies in many sectors to lay off employees. 

The implications will be felt across the hospitality sector, the businesses that rely on business travel and commuters. And of course, the more people fired, the more home foreclosures, inability to pay car loans, credit card debt, etc.
