Now its 5 of us
So last week another of my friends lost her job she is an office manager. Since this whole thing started 5 of us friends have lost thier position Susan was a traffic manager for a trucking company Randy was a buyer for textiles Barb was an office manager Dena was in the wedding industry and I was a buyer for a store All different fields all unemployed . I guess the monthly unemployed divas coffee meeting is expanding. I wonder when this will all end or if it will get worse as some are predicting My heart especially goes out to my friends Barb and Susan both are single and this is killing them. Oh well I guess all we can do is hope and pray Thois recession isnt over by a long shot

No it isn't over and you can't believe the news when it says it is. I'm here hoping good things for you and safety in YOUR job. Fingers are crossed.
While our business has picked up just a touch the bills keep going up beyond what business has. It's a case of wait and see for us.

Thinking of you. I was talking to my boss about how NONE of us are safe. The Sam's Club a few towns over from us closed on the spot one morning. Everyone went to work to find out that corporate was shutting the doors. I work for BJ's Wholesale and luckily my location is thriving, but what if they decide since we are a lower volume club that they should shut us down? SCARY world right now. All we can do is hope and pray it turns around soon---sadly it doesnt look that way
Fingers crossed you and your friends find something!

Im not so worried about me But Barb and Susan are both single and have no other means of support Randy Dena and i are married so with cutting back we will get by. I think God wanted me to lose my job as that is when my Dad got sick and I had to take cre of him and my mom so I wouldnt have been able to work anyway at that time. I actually would like to go back to work but it aint happening there is nothing going on jobwise and I have years in retail and its Christmas time I dont ever remember seeing it this bad. i AM INTRODUCING MY FRIENDS TO fV ,in hopes you guys will be able to help them

Funny you should say that Dh and I were in a Sams club over the weekend in Freehold Nj this is a very affluent area. The place was dead on a Sat. 10 days before Thanksgiving. I spoke with one the customer service reps while dh and I were having our gourmet 1.50 lunch lol. She said she has never seen it so slow

More and more people are moving in together to share rent, utilities etc. One unemployment check may not make the rent etc but 2 or 3 might. Here family and friends are sharing storage buildings as they lose their homes and moving into sharing housing and costs. Originally Posted by Lora88

I laugh when the "economists" said the recession is over. They have not had a conversation with any regular people

Recession does not mean "tough times." It has a very specific meaning in economics. Originally Posted by jamie79

I hate to be a doomsayer but I remember all the stories my Dad told me about the depression. and the similarites to today are scary I am so thankful dh has a job even with diminished hours and that all my kids are working except ds he is in school and lives with us . My son in law does loan modifications for a large co and he is so busy he has over 4000 foreclousures on his desk alone.

True! Sadly, jobs are usually the last recovery area. Hopefully, everyone learns something from this situation, and our country emerges stronger and smarter for the experience. Originally Posted by Inkstain82
