Commercial construction is pretty slow. The people that want to build can't get financing and the people who have enough money to finance projects themselves are shoving it all under the mattress.

I'm slower than usual right now, but staying somewhat busy. However, if we don't pick up a couple of projects by April, I'll be a solitaire-playing mofo.

I work for a small company (~25) and I fall into the "as long as the company doesn't fold, I'll be fine" category. Despite the economy, we're currently building a new office, so I think we're doing fine.

I'm in advertising sales for my own direct mail company and thanfully we're still holding our own.We're definitely down some from last year but it's looking better as I just closed the Papa Murphy's account for a full page the next 10 months and I've had some new calls coming in from smaller local businesses who are not going down without a fight.

I'm thinking if the economy continues to sag our business might be okay because more and more businesses will be looking for reasonable and effective advertising.

Mine seems to be doing ok. They have cut hours for everyone, will be going down to 35 hours a week for most everyone. I am fairly certain that the company will stay afloat and thrive in the longterm.

I just got the best job I've ever had in my life a few months ago, I'll be pissed if the economy ****s it up for me.

some.

If you are caught on a Segway, "win" is never part of the equation....

That's what the people say when they can't afford one.

Nothing but pure awesomeness

I throw freight for one of the hardware superstores. No layoffs yet, but all part-timers have been cut to 10 hours and once the company start hiring again in the spring, they'll only be hiring temporary workers.
