It's tough any time of the year. I think this time of the year is rougher because of the weather, the gray skies & because we've been programmed that this is "the most wonderful time of the year".
Becoming unemployed is another reason to stock up on food & daily necessities.

I will pray for them both. My fiance lost his job in June 2009 and is still unemployed. He only has a couple more weeks left of his extension. Thank goodness I have a job. It doesn't pay very much, but at least it's something. :|

Don't they realize that 'on down the road' it is going to bite them in the butt? EVENTUALLY it will get to them. Support our US workers!
Darn RIGHT. I always look at labels now to see where things are made before I let loose of my limited money.
What I think I'll start doing is making a list of the companies that are outsourcing all their work and telling them I'm going to boycott their products.
I NO LONGER BUY HERSHEY'S CANDIES, and while a smaller work force is still in the US==Mexico is now producing Hershey's there (ONLY three thousand Americans were fired)
I feel that I have to take a stand somewhere. With the width of my rear end I sure do not need chocolate, and can make do with Carob, which is not so highly manufactured with chemicals.

It is a heart ache for those losing jobs...the economy is at such a state that it seems no one is immune to losing their job. My son-in-law lost his job 2 weeks ago and at this time of year it is most difficult to job hunt - we are praying not only for him but for all of you that are looking for work or know someone that is looking for a job.

What a rotten time of year to get rid of employees (although I know there is no "good" time of year to lose your job).
Thanks for letting me vent.
