Speaking of "layoff", can't be any worst than in S.E. Asia as they depend on us

Vietnam factory workers laid off as West cuts imports

More than 470,000 workers have had their hours slashed in the last four months of the year while about 40,000 people have lost their jobs


Phan Thi Nhieu has spent a decade assembling shoes for worldwide brands such as Timberland and K-Swiss, but she is now among tens of thousands of Vietnamese factory workers laid off as Western consumers cut spending.

Almost half a million others have been forced to work fewer hours as orders fall in the Southeast Asian country, one of the world's largest exporters of clothing, footwear and furniture.

The cost-of-living crisis in Europe and the United States -- major markets for Vietnamese-produced goods -- has seen the buying power of Western shoppers plunge.

Women factory workers, who make up 80 percent of the labour force in Vietnam's garment industry, have been hit the hardest by the knock-on effect.

The thing about my fob viet people is the hustling.  Human rights sux over there so imagine if they were here in the USA, they'll be doing 3 or more jobs.  This is why there is a stereotype to hire asian as them people are hard worker. 

If they need workers, they can get them from china.  Minus the housing fee and food fees and what is left of their pay check?  Then you have fake scam recruiters who promises of a job but they ended up in the human trafficking industry. So sad.
