Hey, its more than wood and hardware flying of the shelves of the world's largest home improvement store chain. The Home Depot announced it is closing 15 stores. More good news. Apple Inc. lays off 174 workers in Elk Grove, California at its Elk Grove facility and is transferring the work to a site in Austin, Texas. Maybe Apple Inc. is getting ready to move offshore like most everyone else. Or maybe Arny has squeezed the bubble to much and this is a move to a more tax friendly environment, then again it just might be more labor availability.
It sure seems that during all of our economic down turns that businesses either fail or move offshore, that jobs are lost and it affects the surrounding economy, except for the size of government that refuses to cut back.
