    I have been lucky enough to stay out of it so far. I work security which is pretty recession proof. But the place I work I can see them start to lay off people depending on how long it last. That will not be fun at all.

    I’m not as bad off as you. I’m a recent college graduate so it’s been pretty difficult finding a job since all of those who lost their finance-related jobs are trickling down to other sectors- so the competition is insanely fierce. Job postings that would have gained about 10-20 resumes in the past would receive 60-80 resumes.

    I am no economist, but Iike a lot of sticky situations, i think it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
