BOSTON (CBS) ? Nobody?s more familiar with high unemployment than the job recruitment website monster.com and the Maynard-based company has just laid off 400 people worldwide.
That?s about 7-percent of its total workforce.
It includes less than 100 employees at its headquarters in Maynard.
Monster is trying to re-structure and says it may soon hire back some of those it has let go.
BAIN?S LATEST BET
Bain Capital has been in the news a lot this week, as the company that earned Mitt Romney his millions.
Well, the private equity firm and its venture capital affiliate are investing $238-million in a San Francisco company called Smart Trade.
That?s a company that provides warranties for iPads, iPhones and laptops, as well as competing products like the Kindle Fire.
And you know that many consumers will be buying those warranties.
CASINO UPDATE
Ameristar casinos has bought 41 acres of land in Springfield, where it hopes to build a resort casino.
