time to ask again... how is the job market or econamy to you?
dre-w:
Going on my 5th year working for Yamaha Motor Corporation in CA.. managed to survive 2 waves of layoffs.. but it looks like things are starting to pick up again.
DaOld Man:
My job is still doing good. We produce can sheet aluminum for beer and soda cans.
In the nearly 24 years Ive been there, never a layoff.
Its sad to say, but it appears the worse things are the more people drink beer, so this business seems to float right through (pardon the pun).
Other factories in this area are not doing very good.
garwil:
@Shmokes It's definitely something I've been thinking about. Just waiting for Mrs. Garwil to qualify and get some experience then we're gonna start looking. We're thinking about either the US or Canada, then saving up and traveling the world doing voluntary work.

USA? Here cans are from iron. They say that tastes better and easier to recycle (magnets).
spoot:
The Bakken oil fields are turning things upside down around here. The State of ND is getting flush with cash (think we're the only state with a surplus anymore?) and smaller towns to the east of here are exploding and growing. Which seems GREAT at first, but I'm seeing a disturbing trend that landlords are simply kicking up rent farther and farther to milk the oil workers who can easily afford it while shafting those who are just scraping by. :hissy:
And to make matters more interesting........the hospital (non-profit) I work for is broke again. :angry:
