This is week 33 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. And of course, the more people fired, the more home foreclosures, inability to pay car loans, credit card debt, etc. 

And this too will accelerate the banking crisis, since the deeper the economy falls, the more people laid off the higher office vacancies will rise. Thus, with leases not being renewed, variable rate mortgage costs rising as interest rates rise, there will be more loan defaults.
