    There’s also the stock market effect. Companies that conducted layoffs haven’t been punished, either by investors or on their bottom lines. In fact, they’ve been rewarded with rising stock prices.

    I like how they portray this like it is a fluke and not literally what happens every time. You get rid of a bunch of workers and save money? Line goes up.
