It has already been a lousy year for workers and less than one month into the new year, there is no relief in sight. Tens of thousands of fresh layoffs were announced and more companies are expected to cut payroll in months ahead.

Job losses have accelerated in the last quarter and the unemployment rate in the next 6 months has weakened further.

Last week, Microsoft announced it first significant job layoffs ever. Google has been quietly laying off staff and up to 10,000 jobs could be on the chopping block. Yahoo has sacked a bunch of staff from many divisions. More layoffs are coming country-wide.
