Have you seen the unemployment stats? Pretty brutal, eh? Are you still gainfully employed? Will you still be gainfully employed tomorrow?
Unemployment
- Thread starter Rockslinger
- Start date
The numbers are not really a surprise given the climate right now, they should pick up in a couple of months when teh panic slows down

Hey Radio Shack, didn't your parent company (Circuit City) go belly up in the States a few months ago?

This is amazing! Aren't your customers members of the general population mired in recession? Also, doesn't a recession mean more ladies enter the sex business?

This recession is turning a lot of us into borderline psychos. I remember the "Big Guy" telling us in December that the worst is yet to come.

You only pay $100, where, who? Just kidding!
I went to an MP once (for research purposes) and as soon as I walked in the desk girl asked for $45 for the "room fee". Then the MPA wanted $120 for a half-hour "massage" plus tips. Then I asked whether there was a towel fee and was told $10. I was lucky I got my clothes back gratis (no, no coat check charge).
I like how the numbers would have been even worst if it wasn't for the pick up in part time work.
Working just part time is alright..if you have no family to take care of.
And yeah, the escorts should be worry...if things were going better, I be in town a few days early, not just one day early..sure others are cutting back as well.

Even people gainfully employed are cutting back because they don't know if or when the axe will hit them. Lots of nervous people out there unless you work for the TTC or are a teacher in the public system. Don't you love the "public servants". To a man and woman, they say the recession is not their fault so why should they suffer like the rest of us.

Everyone is affected by this recession and job loss. The demand for services in this industry may be decreasing, while the amount of competition is on a steady increase. That means that there is a lot less money to 'spread around' in an already limited 'community' (hobbyists.) Yes, you are secure in your job - however, to say that you are unaffected by the recession... Well, that's a different story.
Ok I am in my 40's so I will offer a little advise to you youngins, stop crying and go to work, last recession I got a job repossessing cars soon enough I started my own business doing just that. Worked well till the economy turned around and off I went to a new project.
My current business is still showing growth even in these "hard times" again things aren't that bad, a lot of people are spending, and there is always a way to make money, if you are smart and not lazy.

Actually you're correct and so is Noir.
The only people that are directly affected by a recession are those that are unemployed. Everything else is indirect.
I retired at 52 and will not directly be affected. That said I'm watching just about everything because pensions can go bust...
Wait... They actually get paid to read each post??? Now i know what I want to do when I grow up!Strongbeau said:
For many of us in the professions, you hope income keeps coming in - but you never really know.
