I agree with Todd, excellent edit. I know I recommended it, but reading the revised version, I think I'd remove the comma after "lay-offs" and just have no punctuation there at all. Also I'd remove the capital from "Men" in the penultimate line, unless you're referencing something that's gone over my head.
