More out of work journalist join already flooded market

The Journal News in Westchester County is about to layoff 50 people from its newsroom and is making everyone else reapply for their jobs. (We didn't even have 50 people in our newsroom.) Since the jobs are publicly listed, I guess, actually the number of people who lose their jobs could be much higher if they choose to hire outside of the paper. What bothers me — other than all these people losing their jobs — is that now I'll have even more competition for the precious few jobs that are out there. Awesome.
