We had layoffs this past Friday...

I want to say it was a complete shock. Instead I was rather shocked who was let go. I started to worry and think about the situation my friends are currently in. I work in Architecture our work is based a lot on the current housing market.

As I'm sure as you're aware if there's no need to build we won't. Our clients might find it difficult to obtain the necessary loan in order to construct. While I'm sure many have their own money needed for construction they're not willing to take the risk.

So the lenders won't lead, clients can't build yet clients won't build because peopling are not buying.

Because my job at the firm is in a administrative assistant role it might not be too difficult to find work if I was laid off. We can work in all types of industries. We're adaptable I guess. Now is there's an industry that doesn't suffer layoffs due to the current conditions of the market? According to the Food Network the candy industry is the only one that doesn't. I don't know how true that is, but they reason that its because no matter what the cost people will always purchase their favorite candy.

My prayers are for my co-workers who were let go. Why you were chosen I don't know but try to think of it as an new opportunity. (Easier said then done, I know!). But KP's mom is right "when God closes one door He opens a window."
