Wish I could say the same here.
I get 5 phonecalls a day from people looking for work, its gotten so bad I do not answer the phone unless I recognize the number, I got sick from hearing all these guys and their nightmares.
My business is off by a huge amount, I am probably doing 1/10th the business I was doing 4 years ago.
Business is so bad I am getting 16K in overpaid taxes this year after getting 11K in overpaid taxes last year after getting 6K in overpaid taxes the year before that.
I have laid off 10 employees and now only have 3 and I am about to lay off 2 more.
Everyone I talk to is hurting, from builders to title companies to car dealerships to anything in the service sector. Dozens of restaurants in this town alone have closed down and most of them were big chain brands, tons of retail stores closed down, tons of houses being foreclosed on, cars and boats are being repo'd like no tomorrow.
On a local car forum representing most of South Florida every week another "I got laid off" thread pops up.
Everything is fine here, no slowing economy for us its all make believe.
