That does not include otherd companies eliminating jobs with employee buyouts, such as , which had 208 employeess over age 53 take a company buyout in the last month, and , whicu announced a layoff in February that took the company beloww 600 employees.

, faced such unforeseeablse business circumstances when it laid off its stafff here between Feb. 11-25, said John Fougere, a spokesmahn for the Missouri Department ofEconomic Development. Anderson’s WARN noticre said the company was forced to close when it failed to secure commitment from itssole customers, publishers of books and magazines. “It’s a great tragedy that’sa happened,” said Lloyd Whitaker, whosre NewLeaf Corp. of Atlanta is liquidating Anderson Services.
