On every forum I am on I see post after post of people who have just lost their jobs. I can't remember another time this bad. SW Florida used to have an extremely low unemployment rate, so much so that employers couldn't find people. In the last year that has done a 180 flip.

My Son just ran an ad for a Maintaince Supervisor for the highrise he manages. He usually gets 2-4 applicants. This time he got 46, and some of them were so desperate they found him (even though it was a blind ad) and showed up unannounced.

I just heard on the TV the other day, Cape Coral and Ft Myers lead the nation in home forclosures, and the entire country is setting foreclosure records. This is definitely not a very good time for a lot of people.
