Almost half -- 46% -- of the estimated 30 million layoff victims who found new jobs said they paid less then their old ones, according to the survey of 1,153 U.S adults done over the summer.

Asked to compare their salary and savings now to five years ago, 42% said they had less. That figure included 25% of respondents who said they had "a lot less."

Times are tough. Not saying that to make a joke. It is tough time to make a living in the US right now for a lot of people.

It always tickles me to hear people fearing a layoff.....I was laid off 9 times in 1990 and I never even thought about it "ruining" me....in fact I have probably been laid off at least 50 times in the last 32 years and it always works out...hell I have even laid myself off twice.....of course I have also quit about as many jobs when something better came along and have been fired once....
