Firebaugh to See Significant Job Cuts
By joe | Dated: 05-24-2010
FRESNO COUNTY, CA — Firebaugh is a small town dominated, like many towns in California’s central valley, by agriculture. So the fact that tomato farming and packing company Garguilo Inc will be cutting 262 jobs is particularly unwelcome news here. The cuts represent more than 33 percent of Garguilo’s workers and a significant percentage of the total workforce in this town of 6,000. According to City Manager Jose Antonio Ramirez, the layoffs are a “devastating loss.”The layoffs are somewhat surprising as agriculture has been relatively resistant to the recession that has crushed other sectors of the economy.

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
