Skeeter: one thing that's happening out of this market is that people are dropping out of the workforce...folks like me and some of my co-workers all took severance packages when they were offered and sold the stock in the 401K before the company stock price collapsed. It must be helping the unemployment statistics. We looked around and did the numbers on a retirement calculator and said to ourselves "can we survive without this place?" Recent unemployment has skyrocketed, the Vancouver paper reports that if the US reported statistics the same as Canada we would have double-digit unemployment.
