The New Year has just began and already we’re hearing about the 2008 recession! The year has started out with a bang alright but definitely not a good one!
With big time companies like Yahoo! laying off people it doesn’t take a genius to see that times are hard and getting harder!
With unemployment and a recession on the rise everyone out there that has a job should be praying to the Job God right about now.
Companies are dropping like flies and it doesn’t appear to be getting any better!
The average American doesn’t know this, (because it’s not announced on the news every day), but where I live in Holland it is, that the dollar is at an almost all time low and that most countries don’t even want to touch the good old “greenback” right now because it is loosing money faster than they can get it to the bank.
Of course if you’re rich you know this fact and Many of the rich or people that have even a small fortune are moving their money out of America and to countries where they can begin to recoup some of their losses and not loose anymore to this recession.
Living in Holland I see Every Morning what the current rate of the dollar is, it’s announced at the end of the news just before the weather.
Did you know that when Bill Clinton was leaving office that it took only 84¢ to buy 1 Euro? And this morning?
This morning it takes $1.46 to buy 1 Euro! For your information, yesterday it took $1.45 to buy 1 Euro!
Now I realize a penny doesn’t seem like a lot but when your cashing in a lot of money it adds up considerably! For that 1¢ increase in one day if you had 1 million dollars you would have lost $10,000 in just one day!
Now take that and consider that just a little over 8 short years ago it took 84¢ to buy 1 Euro! The amount lost on 1 million dollars is staggering! With the Euro costing 52¢ more now to buy 1 Euro a millionaire would have to pay $520,000 more to buy the same amount as he/she would have 8 years ago! Over half a million more to buy 1 million Euros…in just 8 short years!
I don’t have to tell you that the average Joe can not afford this recession and the average Joe can definitely not afford to loose his/her job right now!
Things are looking bad for America & Americans financially and with what the stock market did recently it doesn’t look as though the value of the dollar is going up anytime soon, in fact, quite the opposite!
So now that you are in bad enough shape what are you to do if you happen to loose that precious job of yours?
Trust me, I know that Unemployment and/or Welfare is not going to take care of you and your loved ones sufficiently!
I came across a site last night that addresses the possibility of you loosing your job whether you be laid off or fired. This site offers a few tips on how to get another job and get back on your feet again.
I don’t know if these tips will help, but if your jobless right now you might need all of the help you can get to landing what many may say, is that “illusive” job!
Don’t get lazy and spend at least 30% of every day trying to find a new job are the first tips, the rest of the helpful tips can be found at:
