No one, not even the hopeful summer analysts, who really need these jobs, will be spared.
THE LAYOFFS AT BEAR HAVE BEGUN! I'm actually a sophomore who was planning to intern at Bear Stearns this summer. I called the guy I had interviewed with originally this afternoon. He said he was busy, so I agreed to call back after 4:30. At 5 pm, I call, and some other guy picks up and says, "He no longer works here". There you have it...the massacre begins.

Goldman Quietly Warning Employees Of Another Round Of Layoffs
Posted by John Carney, Mar 18, 2008, 9:08am
Goldman Sachs, which announced this morning that it made $1.5 billion last quarter, has quietly been telling some employees to prepare for another round of layoffs. The job cuts are scheduled for mid-April, and will include some senior positions which have not been large cash generators, according to a person familiar with the matter. Goldman, which has weathered the storm of the credit crunch better than many competitors, has not had anywhere near the level of job cuts that rival firms, such as Lehman Brothers, have had.
美国十二月失业率攀升至5% 两年来新高

(中央社记者蔡蕙如华盛顿四日专电)美国劳工部今天公布就业报告显示,美国上个月失业率由百分之四点七攀升至百分之五,为两年来新高;新增工作一万八千件,也为二零零三年八月来新低。
今天公布的报告较经济学家先前预估的失业率百分之四点八,新增工作七万件差得多,也更增添经济迈向不景气的疑虑。
美国总统布希下午在与财经工作小组会面后对媒体发表声明重申,经济基础稳固;但他也说,不能视此为理所当然,有些迹象使华府需更致力确保有更佳政策促进经济强健。他也持续抨击国会的增税计画。
为了提升经济,布希正考虑提案促进经济成长。白宫助理先前曾透露,布希考虑的方案主要针对减税,以期增加商业投资与消费者支出。
布希昨天接受媒体采访时则表示,美国政府正考虑各种促进经济成长的选择,但他可能要到国情咨文,才会做出是否提案的决定。
根据今天发布的报告,美国去年全年失业率平均为百分之四点六,与前一年略同。一些经济学者预估今年平均失业率将达百分之四点九。
美国当前失业率在历史上仍属相对低点。美国在一九八零年代早期的不景气,失业率甚至达百分之十左右。
十二月份与房市、信贷相关的制造业、营建业、金融服务业工作持续减少,与消费相关的零售业工作也减少;新增工作主要来自政府部门、教育、保健、专业与商业服务业等。
攸关民间消费的平均时薪成长百分之零点四,较分析师预估的百分之零点三稍高。不过,过去一年,薪资成长百分之三点七,较前一年的百分之四点三成长为低。
