I enjoyed your recent blog involving the massive layoffs hitting newspapers across the country.
There is nothing enjoyable about the situation, of course, for the 5.6% of Americans currently unemployed, nor for the individuals you reported on who are facing this difficult situation.
I am writing to you today because I think you might take an interest in a company I work for called Scorelogix.
Scorelogix® is a Delaware based company serving the entire US workforce through our state of the art, patent-pending ability to predict the likelihood, at 85% accuracy, that any individual’s job will remain available over the next twelve months.
As you are well aware, such information can be critical for people looking to make decisions about their future. Considering the current chaotic economic environment, you can see how this information could be useful to almost anyone.
I would appreciate it if you would take a moment to look at our site @
