Brother, can you spare a dime?
Just reading a news item about the job loss situation.
"Recession-battered employers eliminated 598,000 jobs in January, the most since the end of 1974, and catapulted the unemployment rate to 7.6 percent. The grim figures were further proof that the nation's job climate is deteriorating at an alarming clip with no end in sight............the unemployment rate bolted to 7.6 percent in January, the highest since September 1992..............the economy has lost a staggering 3.6 million jobs since the recession began in December 2007. About half of this decline occurred in the past three months."
When you see it in black and white, the enormity of this economic downturn is staggering. Pretty soon we will all be living in Trailer Park high rises.....
If things don't start to pick up, The Countess will have to be reduced to knitting for a living.
But until then, I'll keep my spirits up by dreaming of the Pool Party I'll be attending in Miami Beach at the end of the month.
And maybe I'll get to put my arms around a hottie like Travis while I'm there!!!!
In the meantime, keep warm....and keep your job, if you can!!!!
