Paul Joegriner hasn't worked since March 2008, when he was laid off from his $200,000-a-year job as chief executive officer of a small bank. But you wouldn't know it by appearances. His wife, Marzena, shuttles their two young children to private school every morning. The family recently vacationed in Virginia Beach, Va., and likes to dine on Porterhouse steaks. Since losing his job, Mr. Joegriner, 44 years old, has had several offers. He's turned each down in hopes of landing a position comparable to what he held before.

Videogame publisher Electronic Arts Inc. said it plans to cut 17% of its work force while acquiring a U.K. online-videogame concern to build up its digital business. EA said it will cut 1,500 jobs by next March as it closes several facilities, saving the company at least $100 million annually. The cuts come on top of the closure of game-development and publishing facilities a year ago, and are part of EA's plan to focus on fewer games amid an industry-wide slowdown in sales.
