  259 According to the Mass Layoff Statistics The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics asks employers to identify the primary cause of each layoff that idles more than fifty manufacturing workers.

  259 were attributed to "government regulations/intervention" See also Irons and Shapiro, Regulation, Employment, and the Economy: Fears of Job Loss Are Overblown.
