Please, have a real recovery start soon......
--In the past week, I received an email and a letter from two companies saying positions they intended to fill have been frozen.
--business at the resort where my sister works is way, way off. It has a small staff, two workers have been let go since mid-March. My sister has learned about every job there, is one of the senior staff and works double shifts often.
--My sister's best friend, a nursing supervisor, had her job cut as did several others at a Rhode Island hospital. So much for health care being a safer job, in terms of cuts.
---One brother, a solo practice attorney, has seen his business drop, in hard times people don't have money to sue, and stay married, divorce costs money. He is looking at moving his practice out of CA, but can't decide where, and is limited to which states accept CA license.
--My younger brother is set with his teaching job, but alot of the new teachers in his distrct have received notices, and are on standby to see if money magically appears from the federal government.
--my mom has taken her condo off the market, she came down in price. Several condos in her community have been up for sale for months.
--One friend lost her job when a paper closed, and another thinks it's just a matter of time until the paper he works for folds, and is sending out his resume.
