In my line of work, I just get bits and pieces from different people. It's usually not enough to make any definitive conclusions, but I can say Dallas really stinks right now _ at least to a lot of people who live there and are used to good times. Crime is way up. I've heard from a lot of people who say they were forced by management to take a 25 percent pay cut, or they lost their job and took a 50 percent pay cut at another company, or whatever. There are just jillions of them. A former production manager at a candy company, for example, was asked to take a 30 percent pay cut. He quit instead. He's in his mid-50s, and can't find anything that pays more than $8 an hour. That's the type of job market we're in right now. It seems no matter what your skill level, or your level of education, you can be replaced by someone who's eager to accept whatever position they can find. The economy is recovering _ slowly. But the job market definitely is not recovering. PB
