LAID OFF EMPLOYEES IN SACRAMENTO REGION SUCCESSFULLY FINDING NEW JOBS
The Sacramento Business Journal reported that a CareerBuilder survey released this week found that almost half of the people laid off during the second quarter of this year already found new full-time jobs (48%) and another three percent found part time positions. According to the Business Journal, this CareerBuilder survey also found that 56% of people laid off in the past year found full-time positions that paid more than the job that they were laid off from.
The results of this survey could help support employers who have to argue against very aggressive claims for lost wages and benefits in employment litigation where the employee and his/her attorney claim that it is "impossible" to find a new or comparable job.
