Recession ending? My husband has been out of work since April, a first in the 15 years we've been married. He had ONE response to submitting an application back in June, and they hired an inside guy. That guy quit, and now that SAME company is giving him a small bite--BUT the company itself is shutting down, so it would be a short-term contract. It's almost funny. His web business has kept us going, BUT the economy has affected his sales--oh, yeah--they've gone UP--because more people are at home, smoking chicken in their back yards instead of working. You have to understand--my husband has NEVER had a problem getting a job. He is a professional with a sterling work record, and we joke about the fact that if he can just get an interview, he'll have the job.
Unemployment is UP, not down. When we go to the grocery store, prices are UP. The only thing I can think of that has gone down in price recently is gas. Oklahoma's unemployment rate hasn't been this high since 1988.
How on earth is the recession "ending sooner" rather than later?????
Currently 9.8% according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
I would love to see the information you have that the recession is ending--it might give us a little hope in this household that things will be looking up again very soon. So any data you have--please post it.
And the reason why gas prices are down? Nobody's buying it like they used to because they aren't working! In fact, they've even stopped production in several areas!
