Third Quarter 2015 Hiring, Firings, Layoffs, Resignations
Something that we haven’t tracked more or less because it hasn’t existed until the later part of this year is companies that are touting their pay, or even very publicly raising pay for employees. Typically out of fear that the labor market has become so competitive, or because they claim it helps create a better product.

Keurig Green Mountain Coffee – The company that famously brought extraordinary waste to home brew coffee, has now announced it will axe 200 jobs in Vermont, and over 300 globally in total blaming flat sales.

Bass Pro Shops – Company is cutting 500, sending its old workforce out fishing for new work (sorry we couldn’t resist).
