FINALLY, SOME GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE ECONOMY

NEARLY HALF OF ALL WORKERS LAID-OFF IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS . . . HAVE ALREADY FOUND NEW JOBS:

In the past several months, hundreds of thousands of Americans have been laid-off from work. Now, obviously . . . that's bad news.

But there's a silver lining . . . According to a recent survey, 41% of workers who were laid-off in the last three months . . . have already found a new, full-time job. And another 8% have already found a part-time job. 59% of laid-off MEN have been able to find another job . . . as have 49% of laid-off women.

Meanwhile, 68% of workers in the 35 to 44-year-old age range have found a new job. And listen to this . . . 15% of laid-off workers say they're making MORE MONEY at their new job than they were at their old one . . . while ONE in FIVE say their new job requires them to work fewer hours.

Overall, ONE in FOUR laid-off workers who still haven't found another job . . . say they're seriously considering starting their own company. (PR Newswire)
