As the financial crisis sweeping the USA tightens its grip, it is becoming something of the norm to meet someone and get asked “so, you have a job still”?  While watching the early news it seems that the dipping isn’t even inverse plateauing at all.  I’ve watched CNN yesterday tell a story of a young family of 2 children.  Both parents getting laid off from their work on the same day.
Pass by the New York Times business and financial pages online to and see how a lot of big American brand names and businesses are showing hard times.   General Motors… driven to the brink.  Man, how depressing is that!
GM lost US$18.8 billion the first half of 2008 and it’s facing more red ink in the months to come. Â Remember that General Motors is the world’s largest automaker. Â If the big dip affects the big guys, I’m a little concerned how the little players are.
