Shit, Sorry to hear it
It's weird going to in to shops or businesses and talking to staff - a lot of employed workforce think they about to be let go at any time.
I don't think this is going to last much longer though - I reckon by the middle of 2009 it will have turned around the climb back up will begin.

I may be part of the OC statistic soon. We had a meeting today with the president of the company and he said we aren't doing that good.

Oil. Those fuckers are making more money than ever.
Entertainment is OK, not doing great but still ok.

There are many reasons I moved to Phoenix. This is a big one. Unemployment is lower and you need to make a bout a 3rd of what you need in LA. I paid $1600 for a one bedroom in LA. My friend who moved out here with my girl and I got a one bed that's nicer than mine was for $650. She got a job in a B of A call center making 28K and will have more than enough to be happy. Cali is a tough place to be right now.

Really sorry to hear that. I guess the bright side is you can put more energy into promo and hopefully make enough doing that.
