I was terminated in order to cut back on expenses, only problem is someone received a raise w/in the past two weeks, large purchases are being made and I was the only one cut. Two weeks ago it was annouced that the company was 50% behind their goal BEFORE hiring me and yet they hired 5 new people after me, most of which have higher salaries. I was forced to signed a two year contract penalizing me if I was to leave early and the position required a moved on my part. They have documented others as costing them more money than I would have made in 5 years, but they were not terminated. My separation letter states that it was at no fault of mine. I took this job over other options and yes they were made aware....months ago. What do I do?

In general, in "employment at will" states, employees can be fired for any reason, no matter how silly or unfair, with or without explanation. You'll have to speak with a a local attorney to see exactly how the laws of your state work.
