    Very unstable and getting worse by the week. Don't believe the hype and news reports that say otherwise. My employer will be, again, laying off workers this summer and each week I hear of someone else I know who has been let go or has had to take early retirement. Prices are going up as is Gas. Our benefits at work are also being cut back again this year and this will be our 3rd year with no pay increase. I am lucky that my position is very busy and that I am paid fairly well. My husband has been laid off 4 times in 2 years and has now taken a part time job just to be back working and bringing in some money. It is bad bad bad out there....

    Our economy is VERY unstable as well as the job market. Our son has an BS in English and a Masters in Law and is still looking for a job!! I worry about the young adults and young families and how they will be able to survive these tough times....having to choose to pay for gas to get to work or buy groceries for the family.

    When I watch a newscast during dinner and they are interviewing families who have lost their homes to foreclosure and their kids are going to bed hungry, sleeping in cars and using the overhead light to do their homework and the kids who are not graduating because they take a job to help out - these are our future generations. And it's all over the country. This is America?

    I can see that the prices on the everyday products are raising but not our salary. Is still a lot of people out of the job market. Jobs are few and not well pay. You have to do more to get less. The market is up and down;etc;etc
