Worse.
2008:
5 family members, including in-laws, had work.
2016:
1 kept a job from 2008.
1 gained a job since then,
2 are looking for work in a very tight IT/CS market (one being myself),
1 retired.
On the upside, interviews are happening.
Myself in 2008: working in an office making 75k per year. 2013 had to train my Indian replacement while most of the rest of the department got outsourced to
India. 2016: Driving an 18 wheeler for 50k per year.
