July 04, 2012 — Pasadena, CA — People that work for Lawson Products, Inc in Chicago have just heard some bad news: the company will be laying off 100 people in an effort to cut $20 million a year in costs.

The company distributes a variety of maintenance equipment and supplies. The lay offs represent about 11% of the entire company. The positions being eliminated include executive positions, primarily. Sales workers are unlikely to be affected by these cuts.

People that are being laid off from Lawson and from similar companies will likely be sent into a panic as they try to find a new position right away. This sort of panic is understandable, especially when you have a family to support and a mortgage to pay. However, much of the distress can be avoided by planning ahead.

A good way to do this is to make use of EmploymentCrossing.com. This site provides listings for jobs in every industry under the sun all across the country. So, if you're looking for something in manufacturing, you can find at least 23,000 manufacturing positions there right now. One of those is certain to suit your needs.

While you can start looking for jobs the moment you're laid off, this is bound to induce some amount of panic. A much better approach is to always be on the lookout for a new position, even if you're currently in what you believe to be a steady job. Keeping an eye on the market and on what jobs are available, you put yourself in a much better position to always be employed, even if you are suddenly laid off.
