As you can see in the news today, the GDP is on its way down. Once more quarter of decline and we will officially be in recession. However, I think most us know that it seems pretty plausible at this point.
Gas has been varying widely here. From $1.99/gal across the state line, up to $2.15/gal the same day and now resting at $2.08/gal - depending on the station. Rumor has it that people are still restricting their driving even with a little bit of ease at the pump. Probably just saving up to buy food.
I went to my first job club meeting and it was interesting. The bad news is that most people are looking for work for over 6 months before they find a viable position. Many of the people in the group have already taken part time jobs to try and fill the gap while continuing to look in their field. Last I knew, that tended to hurt one's ability to be taken seriously in the search process but maybe that is changing. The word at my church club is "unexpected" all the way around. People that felt they were pretty secure, no longer are. It's not a fun time in the job market.
Please feel free to share your job (loss) experiences.
I'll be out of pocket over the weekend, but will catch up with you on Monday.
