Planning a Layoff?
Support Does Matter
Layoffs hit hard—and the impact is immediate
For employees, a layoff brings uncertainty, stress, and difficult decisions. For employers, it can be the defining moment that shows you care.
Surviving A Layoff is America’s most trusted layoff-support guide
Over seven million copies sold. It equips individuals—and the organizations that support them—to move through workforce transitions with confidence, dignity, and real results.
Fast, Practical, and Easy to Use
This is not a 250 page, $25.00 textbook. Surviving A Layoff is a short, magazine‑style guide—just 48 pages, sized 8x10 inches—and can be read in about one hour. That means people can start taking action immediately, not weeks later.
Available in English or Spanish.
Why This Matters—
- According to the U.S. Department of Labor, only 30% of your workers find new jobs in about a month.
- The remaining 70% will average five months or longer. As time out-of-work increases, the chances of landing a comparable job decreases.
- After six months, many job seekers are labeled the, “Long‑Term Unemployed,” a status that often leads hiring managers to overlook their applications. Early, practical guidance makes a real difference.
