Lay-offs still seem to be happening left right and centre as we get closer to Christmas. In my experience (UK), recruitment grinds to a halt from around the 20th until the New Years. Anyone in a more saturated job market who would usually struggle a bit to find something is going to be in for a really sour Christmas. I don't suppose there's much that can be done, without possibly making the situation worse, but the timing really does suck for those impacted.
