Not sure if this is the place to ask but how is everyone fairing in the midwest right now? Are you laid off, job cuts looming? I for one have seen major changes in my business as of about a month ago. Customers dropping like dead flies. Just wondering if this is the shape of things to come. Or what?

 

Job market sucks right now, i think i've finally got another one though..

 

i still have a job but we are real slow, so bring your cars to me please.......

 

I think walmart will always stay busy...so my job is secure..i hope I'm a greeter No i actually work at a dist. center. Good luck to any of you that are having problems

 

Crime is UP!!!

So is my over-time!!

I love those Plugged thugs YO!!

 

I KNEW IT!!!!

 

Bodyshop business in central, IL is dead slow and has been for 1.5 months. We were on track for a record year, now not so much.

 

Body shop business is slow in the south burbs, my boss told me not to come in for the past month, he said he'll call me on a "need me" basis. thank God I have another job too

 

Sorry i thought i told you nick... They need another for the weekend shift if you're interested and i know people..also lots of milfs to hit on

 

I work in medical, so as long as no one invents a cure for everything, I should stay gainfully employed. On a vulture-like note, the bad job market makes used parts a lot cheaper in the classifieds...

 

Sign me up!!

 

I would say dispite the shitty economy the fencing buisness is pretty busy which is suprising... People still wanna spend 5k on fences

On the other hand i work at a insurance company which is DEAD slow.. is sick and very scary

 

That has been the best market for awhile now. Especially in some of the machining fields like Biomet or Zimmer. This economy I think has a great deal to do with my vehicle not selling, but I'm sure some one will come around with a pocket full of money ready to blow it.

 

Hey I work for a Distribution Center here in NE IN. Perishable Food. Job security with Perishable foods, everyone needs their pot pies and grapes.

 

used car sales were down (dumb *** owner stocked me with SUV's) and part sales (mostly to body shops) down so company restructured and guess who got the axe? oh well ... back to school!

 

Score one for military benifits...job security!

 

Yup.

 

i work for ceva logistics here in menomonie,wi and we are the shipping company for andersen windows (exclusive partnership)...supriseingly enough, we have been busy all summer and into the fall. People must still be buying $6k worth of windows for some reason...yey

 

Body shop business is very slow for us here in Crestwood.. we also we having a record year.. had 60 cars in our shop at one point in the year now were lucky to have work for all the body men.. seems to be slowly picking up alittle with the recent drop in gas prices

 

well i got fired from one of my jobs 3 months ago..(too many points on my license). My other job is landscaping, and with my school schedule ive only been working maybe 10hrs a week. On top of that, ive been sick all week so ive worked 0 hours! i had an interview at the VA and supposedly i got the job but they havent called back to tell me when i start. sucks...im starting to run out of money so hopefuly they call soon
