THIS WEEK'S BUSINESS PRESS POLL QUESTION

Log onto the Las Vegas Business Press website and let us hear your opinion on this week's question.

Economists are predicting that as many as 400,000 workers could be laid off in the next year as local, county and state governments try to balance their budgets amid lower revenues and less federal funding. The layoffs are expected to imperil the lackluster economic recovery and reduce services for local residents around the country.

Do you think local, county and state governments should lay off more workers if it means local services will be reduced even more?
