Another thing is housing costs have NOT gone down along with the drop in jobs and salaries. I wonder how young, single women in particular can afford to rent an apartment anymore. I guess they need to find several roomates.
Gee, I keep coming up with similarities to the old Soviet Union way of life.
DBtoo, things are not as bad as they seem. The key thing is constantly upgrade yourself. I use to focus primarily on software development, but now I'm shifting to Bio-informatics. There's quite a market in that field. The trick is to keep coming up with new ideas and wait for the rest of the world to catch up with us.
Young, single women, needed room mates , as far back as 1965, dear. You wanna talk about rents ? Look at what they are in N.Y.C. ( due to rent control, something you'd like, but doesn't work ! ) and in Chicago.
Nope, in the old Soviet Union, people were assigned apartments, the prices wre kept down, and they were dreadful for most people.
