Home Depot laying off 1,000 nationwide
For the third consecutive January, Home Depot has handed out pink slips, on Wednesday announcing 1,000 job layoffs company wide.

---
Since the housing market began to crash, the home improvement giant has cut nearly 20 percent of its Atlanta corporate headquarters workforce, or about 1,150 people. There are now 4,300 employed there.

So, looks like the 70,000 temps to be hired is actual good news.
