on if layoffs already occurred. Amazon laid off 16,000 in January, which would have shown up in February data which currently show a 133,000 drop in jobs nationally - so the Amazon layoffs would seem to be accounted for in the numbers. Dow and Morgan Stanley layoff announcements were of global staff, so we have no idea how many are in the US. Plus Dow layoffs were not announced to be immediate but planned over the course of the year.
