Organizations are looking to backfill with less expensive new college hires as more experienced workers are laid off or choose to opt out early...
That's exactly what I'd thought when I read the excerpted paragraph. So it isn't so surprising that heavy recruiting happens despite the higher laying off, but because of it. It lowers costs. I've heard this happens quite a bit in the chemE industry (though I don't see why it should be specific to that).
