Ok, I just started here because a client drew me in with a job order in this industry - I have shared it with a couple of you here (not realizing or even thinking about it until today when I saw you listed as a member here) I will let the order run with those folks contact for now but will open it up if no responses in next 2-3 days or so.

Anywho - here is a recent layoff report in the industry that may help some of us out. Enjoy and good hunting!

Windstream announces workforce reduction - Release date: Dec 4, 2008

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Windstream Corporation (NYSE: WIN) is restructuring its workforce to adjust to business needs and control expenses in a challenging economy. Windstream is eliminating approximately 170 positions company-wide as part of the reduction effort, which is expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2009.

The company expects to incur a charge of approximately $6 million in the fourth quarter to pay severance benefits to affected employees. Outplacement assistance also will be provided to employees whose positions are eliminated, and employees can apply for other open positions within the company.

Windstream has approximately 7,400 employees overall.

** there was a recent one with AT&T I'm sure you were aware of also**
