And jobs have begun to follow, at least in the NYC financial market.
Many downtown financial firms ordered hiring freezes over the last few
weeks out of concerns about the international financial market.  At

the news is reporting very little about an impending and potentially
serious round of corporate downsizing, especially in those companies
with heavy overseas exposure.
