NEW YORK–Uncertainty about the economy and a dearth of new business activity has triggered yet another round of industry layoffs, this time at agencies in San Francisco and New York.

In San Francisco, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners last week cut 30 staff ers, or about 10 percent of its work force, sources said. Earlier, FCB, also San Francisco, laid off 28–about 7 percent of its staff, sources said.

Saatchi & Saatchi in New York, meanwhile, told an estimated 50 staffers they were losing their jobs, an ag ency representative confirmed.
