Jenners, the iconic department store on Edinburgh’s Princes Street is to close in May after 183 years of trading with a loss of 200 jobs. It was known as “Harrods of the North" and was for many years a family business until sold to House of Fraser in 2005. House of Fraser failed to reach agreement on terms of extension of lease with the owner of the building, the Danish fashion billionaire and major Scottish landowner Anders Holch Povlsen.

I suppose this picture kind of represents my mood today...I just found out that my husband lost his job. He has been working at Circuit City since June and survived the last round of layoffs. Today we got word that the company is shutting its doors, so he won't be going to work next week.
I am not working right now, but that may change because of the situation. Although I'm a bit sad/stressed, we have been through this before. My husband is highly employable and I have faith that where one door closes, another will open.
Anxiety lingered about a global slowdown and we lost jobs. Many large companies would rather make job cuts than reduce bonus payments. How many jobs will go down? Fears of another financial crisis refused to go away. Father has sleepless and mother feels restless. What you really have is what you grip in your hand.

Unemployment climbs to 6.3% in New York City.
December 18, 2008 3:23 pm
As the economy deteriorates, New York is catching up to the rest of the nation when it comes to job losses: the city's private sector employment fell by 17,000 over the last 12 months.
Daniel Massey
For most of 2008, the city economy continued to show year-over-year job growth. The nation hemorrhaged jobs, but the city posted gains.
No more.
The November unemployment rate in the city jumped to 6.3% from 5.7%, the highest level in nearly four years.
Private sector employment in the city fell by 17,100, or 0.5%, for the 12-month period that ended in November, the first month it has happened since February 2004, according to a report released Thursday by the New York State Department of Labor.
The city shed 20,900 private sector jobs in November, the largest one-month loss since 9/11, according to an analysis of Department of Labor data by Eastern Consolidated. The November losses wiped out all the job gains for the year, putting the net year-to-date private sector loss at 10,200.

“There’s no question the recession is here in full force at this point,” said James Parrott, an economist at the Fiscal Policy Institute. “And New York City is going to proceed to catch up to the bad news at the national level.”
Economists said the losses were even worse than the numbers suggested because November is typically a month when the city posts its strongest job gains due to seasonal hiring.
“What caught my eye more than the over-the-year loss was how badly we underperformed a normal November,” said James Brown, a State Department of Labor economist. “November is usually a good month for hiring.”
Monthly job declines were widespread across most industries, but heavily concentrated in the retail sector, with a loss of 4,900 jobs, according to Eastern Consolidated. Construction also took a hit, shedding 1,800 jobs. Even educational services, a usually reliable sector, posted a substantial loss, casting off 1,600 jobs.
Surprisingly, the securities industry lost only 1,400 jobs in November, but that’s likely because most Wall Street firms are waiting until the New Year to hand out pink slips, said Barbara Byrne Denham, chief economist at Eastern Consolidated. The state comptroller has said the city will lose 38,000 Wall Street jobs and 175,000 in all. Since peaking in September 2007, the securities industry has shed 17,800 jobs.
The rising job loss has caused more New Yorkers to file unemployment claims. Statewide, the number of initial claims rose 16% through November compared with a year ago, reaching 1,066,246. The 114,714 claims in November were up 6% over October.
The one bright spot in the report was health services, which added 1,000 jobs. Strength in key sectors like law, accounting and publishing had kept the city economy growing even while the nation was losing jobs. But the growth rate slowed in recent months, leading economists to expect grim news was on the way. That news arrived Thursday, and economists expect it to keep on coming. The Fiscal Policy Institute says the city will lose 10,000 jobs a month through the end of 2009.
Thanks for all you do!
Live your values. Love your country.
And, remember: TOGETHER, We can make a DIFFERENCE!
In the last decade the city of San Francisco has succeeded in moving 19,500 homeless people off its streets. But despite that major effort, the homeless population hasn’t budged. As one homeless person is helped, another takes his place.
Losing a job is the biggest cause of homelessness in San Francisco. Though public services provide free food, a warm shower and clean clothes, it's still common to see people panhandling or scavenging to get needed cash. This man is seen pushing a shopping trolley filled with cans and bottles. He can redeem them at a recycling center and make about $30-40 per day working six hours. He says, it's better than panhandling or standing on the side of the road.

Arranged by the Coalition to End Money Bond. Outside the James R. Thompson Center in downtown Chicago.
Quoting from their press release: Every year the state of Illinois incarcerates more than a quarter of a million people who are awaiting trial. The current system treats people who cannot afford money bonds as if they are guilty until proven innocent. Just a few days in jail can cause someone to lose their housing, job, government benefits, and even custody of their children.
Cook County has made great progress towards ending money bond and pretrial incarceration. Approximately 2,000 people remain locked up in Cook County Jail simply because they cannot afford to pay a money bond. It's time to end wealth based pretrial incarceration and dramatically reduce the number of people jailed in Illinois.
This is not just an issue in Illinois. It is a common practice in many other areas of the country as well.
As job losses rise, growing numbers of American homeowners with once solid credit are falling behind on their mortgages, amplifying a wave of foreclosures.
In the latest phase of the nation’s real estate disaster, the locus of trouble has shifted from subprime loans - those extended to home buyers with troubled credit - to the far more numerous prime loans issued to those with decent financial histories.

Two events of interest in Dublin today. [1] Clerys workers protest against the sudden loss of jobs when the oldest department store in Dublin closed. [2] A large number of people celebrate Bloomsday.
Clerys was a long-established department store on O'Connell Street in Dublin, Ireland, a focal point of the street.
The business dates from 1853, however the current building dates from 1922, having been completely destroyed in the 1916 Easter Rising. Clerys completed a five-year restoration programme in 2004 at a cost of €24 million.
Kieran Wallace and Eamonn Richardson were appointed joint provisional liquidators to OSC Operations Limited (the “Company”) trading as Clerys, on 12 June 2015. The company ceased to trade with immediate effect. Staff were given 30 minutes notice to pack up and leave - some had worked there for over 40 years.
The simple inability to pay bond often has severe negative consequences on the very things that help someone charged with a crime succeed: employment, stable housing, and strong family and community connections. Pre-trial detention can cause loss of housing and/or jobs, separation of families, and lost custody of children. It also results in higher rates of conviction, as people are forced to plead guilty in order to go home rather than fight their charges. With the stakes so high, CCBF hopes to alleviate the harm for as many people as possible by assisting them in paying their bonds, allowing them to remain free while fighting their cases.

Research shows that the primary cause of homelessness, particularly among families, is lack of affordable housing. Surveys of homeless families have identified the following major immediate, triggering causes of homelessness: eviction; doubled-up or severely overcrowded housing; domestic violence; job loss; and hazardous housing conditions.
Research shows that, compared to homeless families, homeless single adults have much higher rates of serious mental illness, addiction disorders, and other severe health problems.
