US politicians worry about LLNL layoffs
The Daily Telegraph: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory near San Francisco made 440 staff redundant last month, many of them involved in nuclear weapons work or efforts to stop other countries acquiring them.
In total, the lab has lost some 1,800 of its 8,000 workforce in the past two and a half years.
The exodus has worried some politicians, not only about the consequences for the United States of such a “brain drain” but also as to where those workers may head now to find jobs.
