Default Frightening!

I heard on the news last week that the Whirlpool company is planning to close down some of its manufacturing plants. I really feel for the people in some of the small towns where this is happening. Frightening!

I hate that for the people that work there, but I have a feeling layoffs may pick back up after Christmas. Especially if some of the major retailers don't do well for the holidays.

I don't think the picture is looking good for the American worker either. I don't think we are going to see many of the jobs that were created during the last of the year, continue after the holidays. It's going to be another lean year in my opinion.

That's very sad and unfortunately it's becoming so common to hear from friends and family that they have been laid off. It's just not as simple as "go get a job" anymore.

You are right Betty, but I still here a bunch of people complaining that those who don't have jobs are just "lazy". That makes me so angry. You can't get what is not to be had.
