In Texas, in the medical field such as hospitals providing medical care, what is the percentage of layoffs in the last three months and what region of Texas has the percentage been the highest?

Ms. Trevino: Gallup doesn't collect this information, but it's possible the Bureau of Labor Statistics does. Here is the website address: http://www.bls.gov/ Best regards, Barb Sanford, Managing Editor, Gallup Management Journal
