So, Whats going on right now??

Hi All -

This is a new blog, and I'm guessing that there's a lot of people out there in a similar position to myself (check Profile) so I wont go into that here.
I'll Update this section regularly with current news on this front -it does seem like a war right now-and maybe it'll be of interest to you out there.
Yesterday seems like the day of gloom for the transport industry - Ford announces thousands in lay-offs at the 4 plants they're closing, Delta says it's merging with Northwest (merging= layoff's) and of course American and Continental has started cutting flights, getting rid of planes and laying off staff. (FYI - airlines in the U.S. have ALREADY cut about 22,000 jobs so far in 2008) You got to wonder how this can be supported with all the hoopla about travel being one of the "biggest growth industries" out there right now! If I was to believe it, the only home business you need right now is a travel business - but who's buying these travel packages? I don't know ANYONE who's done that simply because right now you can find a wealth of cheap flights/hotel's etc. if you look hard enough.
Today, so far, not really being too much on the work front to worry over - just more of the same.
NY Times reporting that current construction woe's are hitting latino's hardest; ADP accounting firm reporting that job's created rose in the past month, however, they always do say that!!
Current trends show that job's lost are about 46% higher on a year-by-year basis (Forbes) - so be afraid, be VERY afraid!!
That's all for now - let me know what you think!!
