logical innovations shut down their richmond office.
Are we supposed to be surprised that so many government services companies made the list? Government today is a guaranteed growth industry, and with Obama running the show its growth rates are astronomical.
Robinson Radio laid off about half of their employees in the office in mid September 2009. They also cut all pay 25% right around the time of the inc. 500 announcement. In 2008 they also cut several positions.
