Meanwhile there are companies having to layoff staff.

And there are other companies hiring ... They still have 10 results.

The update has hit a lot of quality websites and the jury is out if quality has improved.

Rubbish ... Simple logic dictates if the update as an overall whole was not an improvement, as indicated, not by webmasters or what webmasters think is 'better' or 'worse', but by Google's visitors they would have rolled it back and made adjustments as they have done numerous times in the past.

As Shaddows so well stated in another thread, they are a company with a long-term vision, unlike many webmasters, and they will take a hit on profitability today to improve their core product, search, because if their core product is no longer 'top notch' they will end up losing.
