I live in Michigan myself and I know what you are talking about. And the gas prices is getting worse and worse. And when you do find a job it don't pay you enough to put gas in your car. Also food prices are soaring through the roof. I use to live in Florida and it was more expensive with housing and the cost of food, but my husband had no problem in getting a job that paid pretty decent in his trade.

Yeah, I here you on that. I was talking to a co-worker today that said people in Ohio are abandoning their homes because of the way things are. Many people are defaulting on their mortgages. Here in NJ it's not much better. I will probably wind up changing jobs in the very near future because of the gas prices.

Hi, Am from Southern part of India. India is suiffereing a lot at this moment due to high inflation, it is at 7.4 at this moment. As a result all of the commodities have shot up and living expenses has become expensive now. Secondly, due to the poor economic condcition in United States, market here is badly affected and poeple are losing jobs. I must admit that yes, still major Orgs are dependent on US market to a larger extent.
