My son, the pilot, got laid off last month. Things are really bad out there in the job market. But they are lucky.. Misty is a teacher and is still working. But she’s pregnant with their 2nd child. Hopefully no one will need to have to visit a Plano cosmetic dentist’s office any time soon.
Theo says they’ll be ok for awhile. I think they’ve been smart and have been putting money away for just this type of problem. I only wish we would have been able to do that too.
The unemployment figures just keep climbing and climbing. People are losing their jobs left and right. I work with a seasonal company and I get laid off and the end of every year and usually start back again in June. It’s hard trying to find a job anywhere even jobs in retail are hard to find. Luckily hubby still has his job and there are no indications that he’ll be laid off. He fixes cop cars for Atlantic City and as long as they keep wrecking their cop cars he’ll have a job (they wreck cars constantly).
I keep hoping that every time I go back to my job that they will hire me permanently and every year I’m disappointed. I won’t get my hopes up this year with the way the economy is.
