Religious hucksters announce layoffs
At least there’s one positive note to this crappy economy- fear mongering and zealotry ain’t as profitable as they used to be:
Focus On The Family Focusing On Layoffs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Focus on the Family is planning more layoffs.
In October, Focus on the Family announced it would lay off or reassign 46 employees next year due to the restructuring of its distribution arm.
Now Focus spokesman Gary Schneeberger has told the Colorado Springs Gazette the company will be announcing specifics on more layoffs in the next few days.
Focus has a staff of about 1,300 people in the United States. On its Web site, the company claims to be the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to nurturing and defending families worldwide. Focus on the Family was founded in 1977 in Arcadia, Calif. It is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colo.</em>
