days a week with this and Evergreen PT. In 2006 i noticed a slow down,
not alot but noticable, in 2007 we really got hurt and i would of had to
close my business if it hadn't been for my other income. This year is starting
out just as bad. For example i would do about 17-20 weddings a year avg.
last year i did 2, this year i have only 2.
A photographer i know in a bigger metro than me used to do 30 per year.
He did 4 last year, Ouch!
The company i work for sells Nursery stock (one of the many things we do)
nation wide. Are goal for March is $875,000. We are at $500,000.
So i'm wondering are you guys feeling the bad times as well?

I am in the Automaking business.....in 2003, before the War, we were selling 10,000 units a month. Now we are lucky to sell a 1,000 units a month. We are going to a 40 jobs per hour linespeed (we were doing a 60 jobs per hour speed) And ....we are on a week plant shutdown now (work voluntary, if you want paid, or use vacation time) And every friday in April and May will be a shutdown.
You tell me??
