I would love to read this book. Like many others, I am feeling the pain of having been laid-off last year. I would love some positive advice.

I think Americans might be realizing that it’s detrimental to keep jobs for Americans instead of sending them elsewhere…or bringing others in to work them.

I work at an upscale resort and occupancy has gone down a lot due to the economy. My husbands company has moved most of the work to it’s Mexico plant. Many locals here at his plant have been laid off. His hours have been cut we are thankful he still is employed. Times are tough.

Our current model of “American Capitalism” needs reform & regulation: laissez-faire crony capitalism as practiced from Reagan to Bush “43″ is not sustainable !!!

It is not the reduction in the number of openings that bothers me. it is the number of people vying for each one of those jobs.

So far, my husband still has his job. However, about 1/3 of the engineers where he works were laid off, so he’s doing their work as well now. He was out of work for almost a year in the 90s, and since our investments have taken such a BEATING this year, it definitely worries us. We also have quite a few friends who have their own businesses, and they are trying desperately to stay afloat. And I fear it’ll just get worse before it gets better.

I hope I can find a new job this year.
