In my line of work (software engineering), layoffs are fairly common..  I'm just now starting a new job after being laid off in September.  And years ago, during the home loan financial crisis of 2008-2009, it was a particularly hard time; I was laid off in January 2009 and it took me about a year to find my next job.  Sometimes it's not that people don't do useful work, sometimes it's just a difficult market and difficult economy.

There have been a lot of tech layoffs recently too..  For instance, about a year ago, I heard Intel laid off over 2,500 people in Hillsboro, Oregon alone.
