Excerpt (from 1st link above): "Corporate America is convinced: Fewer employees means faster growth.

U.S. public companies have reduced their white-collar workforces by a collective 3.5% over the past three years, according to employment data-provider Live Data Technologies. Over the past decade, one in five companies in the S&P 500 have shrunk.
