Nice. Thanks to the Hafrician things are going to get worse. It ain't over by a longshot.

Well, that's just really really depressing.

Considering I am one of those statistics, it definitely does not make me feel good. College grad as of summer '08 with a bachelors, and since then, I worked for a general contractor who basically lost all customers, went to a security supervisors position where I was basically pushed out because I have a brain and an opinion, now unemployment sucks. One thing I do know is I am thankful for having a great family who has stood by me, because I know many people have it ALOT worse right now.

PM me your resume - I work for a GC who has a great deal of work.

Thanks, I am going to go and be depressed now.

thanks. Give me something to include in todays newsletter.

 

Sad part, that does not include the latest numbers.

Not a good economy to not be "highly skilled" in. It's very interesting to look at the places that have low numbers right now.

 

Note the place in western North Dakota. I suspect that's related to the Bakken formation.

I think Highly Versatile is more like it. There is a large underemployment issue in the Country. Plenty of degrees are delivering pizza and flipping burgers.

Well, I don't think you can be highly versatile without being highly skilled . Nothing worse than a one trick pony.

 

My company is trimmed down to the bone. I'm last man standing in "engineering and technical" for my division so I wear lots of hats during the day. Today I was a Visual Studio programmer as I updated some code for our factory in Germany and then produced some hot stamp products for the marketing department outside my office. Next week and the week after I'll be working on our Citizen Cincom K16 lathe to make some prototypes. I also built some 3d models on our 3d lithography machine using solidworks. Oh and I configured a new PC to run our industrial lasers. I did this while browsing the internet and hit a gunshop at lunch. Did I mention I had 8 plates spinning at the same time?

It's amazing how hard hit the building trades are here. This and last year are the worst I've ever seen. Most of the people I know are maintaining but very few are moving forward.

Yeah? We do government work and are balls to the wall busy...

That is our stimulus at work. Keeping the Government working.

Everyday day is one day closer to a recovery. I keep saying that over and over and over...

Every day is one day closer to 2012...

Every day is one day closer to 2012...

Then we can all hold hands and sing REM

It's the end of the world as we know it.........

AHH. Perhaps I should have said each day is another day closer to Nov 2012?

A little clarity would have worked, unless you believe the O is the AC and it all coincides with each other. Anyway you look at it we are screwed.

Yeah Dan, I thought you meant Dec 21, 2012.

 

Don't worry all, Obomba is planning a 2nd stimulus package (the jobs bill). Gee, I thought the "$787B stimulus package" was supposed to create jobs, huh?
