I mentioned the very same thing to my wife this morning - usually a page or two full of ads, today I happened to notice there was only 3 columns. She said it has been like that for a few weeks now - unreal.

Don't know about the paper cause I am not looking. What I do know is when people quit where I work they do not hire a replacement.

 

[Dobber1]

Yep, same here. We always seemed to have 3+ pages, now only 2/3 of a page.

Does any of the long term forcast look for 2009 to start a rebound sometime???

 

[Mafesto]

On the flip side,
Now would be a good time to start a business (if you can find a niche of course).
Thare are finally some good people seeking employment.
No longer are you stuck with a "heartbeat" than can barely stay clean long enough to pass a piss test.

Now someone find that "niche" for me.

Not too long ago, the company I work for had around 80 open positions. a Day later there was a freeze on all new jobs. Now there is probably 3-5 positions available, and now one of my friends just lost hers. Happy Holidays

Our town does not have enough employees for the places we do have open, unemployment is around 3% for the Bis/Man area (about 80k I think). Only places that are closing are the ones that can't keep employees...

But yet we have so many people here living on well fair that say they can't find a job. They can't find a job because there to lazy to go look for one.

Same thing here... pretty sad when people are too hurt to work, but can go bowl league night three or four times a week.

Ha, have a neighbor who has been on disability for over 25 years milking the system. He's pretty careful about it tho, drives his car to the mailbox, won't do yard/house work (seen his wife painting on a ladder while he stands there smoking, "you missed a spot.") Karma caught him from all his smoking, stroked, and now actually can't do what he's faked for so many years...
