Muncipalities (means public-sector employees, many likely covered by unions) are seeing the door hit them in the ass on their way out...

According to Challenger, layoffs spiked in February to an 11-month high.

It was the first year over year increase since May 2009.

The municipal sector was particularly weak.

The largest portion of layoffs last month came from government and non-profit employers, which announced 16,380 job cuts, up 154 percent from 6,450 in January and 196 percent higher than a year ago when 5,528 job cuts were announced in February. While most of the cuts occurred at the state and local level, the United States Postal Service announced that it reduced its headcount by 5,600 in recent months.

Some little bird tells me that layoffs for certain bad-mannered public-sector employees in a certain far-left state are getting ready to add dramatically to March's numbers...

Reporting from Madison, Wis. —
As hundreds of protesters clamored to be allowed into a locked-down Capitol, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker outlined a plan that would balance the state's budget by cutting heavily from schools and local governments.

The spending plan released Tuesday for the next two years follows Walker's budget repair bill for the current fiscal year that would severely curtail collective bargaining rights for most of the state's public employees. The governor said the clampdown on unions would be necessary to give local governments the means to deal with cuts in state aid in his proposed budget.

"The facts are clear: Wisconsin is broke, and it's time to start paying our bills today, so our kids are not stuck with even bigger bills tomorrow," Walker said.

The initial budget measure has spurred massive protests, including a two-week occupation of the state Capitol by activists, and has led all 14 Democratic senators to flee the state to deny the Senate a quorum to act on the bill. It has also set off recall campaigns against Walker, the missing Democrats and state Senate Republicans.

Oh, here's one of your typical LeftLibProggTards.

Just another 'relaxed' Union thug.
