Job Loss graph - turn your eyes away quickly, it hurts too much

Job loss projections

I read recently that job loss projections for workers between 18-30 is supposed to reach 30% this year, and over 10% nationwide. Which is, quite frankly, really disturbing.

I'm thankful I have a good job right now, but you never know. Everyone keeps talking about how consumers shouldn't be so worried, and it's their worry that is slowing the economy - no spending. But, when you feel like you might lose your job next week, what in the world would induce you to spend this week?

I have the feeling I'll be eating a lot more rice in the coming months. Good thing I like rice. :)
