Well, my hours were recently cut back a few hours each week. I used to get about 38-39 hours a week and now I am lucky to get 35 hours a week. Other than that, it has not greatly affected me yet. Hopefully things will get better for everyone soon! Best wishes.

Yes, sadly I was affected by it. I moved from Washington State to Texas because it's cheaper down here in all aspects. I had to move because of my mom's job (I'm 16). It's hard starting all over. I never thought I would have to move because of the economy. I'm not a big fan of this move because I have a girlfriend in Washington, who I've been together with for more than a year. I also have great friends up there. Unfortunately, visits are all I'm going to get from time to time.

to be honest am in a fortunate position the only effect the crisis is having is my savings are paying awful amounts of interest. Also I have been running my own business for 5 years and its benefitting from the economic crisis at the moment enquiries to my business are up. I also have about 2 years salary put aside for a rainy day so if anything was to happen to my business I could survive for 2 years without the need to work if I really had too. Hope you find work soon as I have a lot of friends in your position right now.
