Nashville Expected to Lose 15,000 Jobs This Year

Posted by Pete Kotz on Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 5:39 PM

A new report commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Mayors predicts that Greater Nashville will lose 15,100 jobs by the 4th quarter of this year, spiking our unemployment rate to 7.4 percent. And believe it or not, that's the good news.

Among U.S. cities, we're expected to finish 32nd in job losses, meaning that while we may have it bad, everyone else is screwed way more. The 5 Most Cursed: New York, LA, Miami, Chicago and Boston.
