We're very lucky that the effects haven't hit here YET... but i"m sure they will in time. We're always behind the rest of the country in things. At times like this that's not so bad. lol

Our state unemployment rate is 4.7% but our county rate is 3.8%, up from 3.7% one year ago. Luckily so far it hasn't seemed to affect my sales and my husband is so high on seniority with his company that they'd have to go out of business to let him go. (He's about # 20 out of over 250) So for now we're lucky. As we all know though, that can change in a heartbeat.

I hope things pick up for you Haley, and Janet, I hope Rick finds a good job soon!
