To me, I just hear the media telling us that the economy isn't getting better which I have a hard time believing based on everything I see around me. However, the area that I'm in here in SoCal wasn't hit by foreclosures. Everyone bought houses that they could afford on their income and didn't go in for those interest only loans knowing the interest rate would rise and they would be paying through the nose. It's weird - like we're in a little bubble here.Jennie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088195986628533511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332858490828689890.post-12591608621667208152011-09-20T08:38:00.791-05:002011-09-20T08:38:00.791-05:00I made the mistake of switching careers TWICE in t...I made the mistake of switching careers TWICE in the last two years. (Being around middle school students drove me crazy, so I went to working with college students... which turned out to not be so hot either.) After that slick move I was lucky to land the position I have now.<br /><br />Yes, more jobs are being created, but more and more people on unemployment are falling off the unemployment list into the category of discouraged worker, so they aren't showing up as being unemployed anymore, even though they are.<br /><br />Don't get me started on health care. I has none. And if you knew WHO I worked for that doesn't provide health insurance... well, you probably wouldn't be too surprised, actually :)Renee Silvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13869871627499932672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332858490828689890.post-17775837052092426382011-09-19T21:25:17.566-05:002011-09-19T21:25:17.566-05:00Doesn't appear to me to be getting any better ...Doesn't appear to me to be getting any better either, sadly.

You can't keep throwing money at a system and expect it to work.<br /><br />The business of enterprise works off supply and demand.
