> Every time the stock markets goes down I know there will be layoffs After careful study of money supply and interest rates, I think this more closely matches economic cycles: When "federal reserve" manipulates money supply by raising the price of money (interest rates) or reducing the amount of money (through lender reserve requirements and other tweaks) there will be layoffs. In other words, don't fight The Fed.
