The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

I would only argue that the word verge should be substituted with 'is in'.

Announcements will likely not be formal until Q1 but the cuts r really happening now. I know of 2 facilities in my company, including my own, that r being closed and I have word from a very high source in a major oil producer that they will soon be whacking many people. Even France isn't being spared.
