Nearly 165,000 workers were involved in 1,333 mass layoff events in July,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. The numbers are substantially lower
than the totals in July 1999 and the lowest for the month of July since the
data series began 5 years

No doubt your forthcoming book will make everything clear, but you *are*
adjusting market income data for changes in non-market and in-kind
income, aren't you? This is important in an era of marketization.
