I noticed in the BLS's MLS news release that the BLS is doing away with their mass layoff statistics as of today -

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/mmls.nr0.htm

----------------------------------------------------------------------

| Mass Layoff Statistics Program Is Discontinued |

| |

| This is the final news release for the Mass Layoff Statistics |

| (MLS) program. Since 1994, the Department of Labor's Employment |

| and Training Administration has funded the program. That funding |

| will end on December 31, 2002. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) |

| has been unable to acquire funding from alternative sources and must |

| discontinue the MLS program. |

| |

| Limited historical data will continue to be available at |

| http://www.bls.gov/mls/ on the BLS Web site. |
