Automated layoff tracker

Many layoff trackers have appeared on the Internet, but they all have the same shortcoming: people have to regularly update the page using information obtained through research or voluntarily submitted by those browsing their website. Here is a layoff tracker that is different.

With the aid of Google News, you can keep up to date with the mass layoffs occurring around the globe with a feed reader. News of the latest job cuts can be obtained by entering the following search criteria in Google News:

(cut OR layoff OR shed OR axe OR slash OR sack) AND job

This search can be accessed immediately at the following URL, which can be bookmarked for convenience:

http://www.google.com.au/news?pz=1&ned=au&hl=en-GB&q=%28cut+OR+layoff+OR+shed+OR+axe+OR+slash+OR+sack%29+AND+job

To receive a news feed of this search, enter the following URL into your RSS feed reader:
