What a minute, wasn't there a bunch of Bushbots saying that all this is just democrats "talking down the economy"? Didn't they say we are on our way to recovery?

My prediction: More layoffs to come in 4th Quarter. Standby for 7% unemployment by January 2003. Word to the wise: If you have a job, and you're not saving your money like Scrooge, you are a FOOL.

From your lips to God's ear. I'm just surprised it hasn't hit 7% or more already. I have so many friends in IT who are out of work right now. I've never seen it this bad in IT. Every one of my friends in the Telecommunications industry is out of work. About half of them who are LAN administrators are out of work - the other half can feel the layoffs coming. It sure doesn't look like this is going to turn around anytime soon.
