The temporary workers being let go are in the States so we should compare apples to apples. Toyota is letting go of at least 50% of their temporary workers according to various articles I've read. That looks good as compared to a lay off of full time staff. Thus, what I originally stated stands, it's a great move PR-wise. But, if sales continue to tank they'll be laying people off in NA just as they are in Japan.
