the world is heading toward a dispresion IMO

we going have years of year of struggling

I am really worried about it, i have been made redundant and at the worst time ever, how am i going to get work now? who will employ a person my age, scary times

The world economy has been improving of late. The S&P in the US is near a record, the unemployment rate has dropped, housing is up and they raised the debt ceiling so no default or downgrade of the credit rating.

China is moving in the right direction. Japan is devaluing the yen and the Euro has risen against the other currencies as of late. Things aren't booming and will take some time but they are moving in the right direction.

you wanna ask around dave friend & family is probably your best bet

uk are heading to a triple dip recession & you have go right back to 1830 since poor grown was happen

The worlds economy is interlinked though. With other countries improving that means the effects will help lift the UK up as well. There was very little growth in the US the last 4 years and unemployment was over 8% for 48 months. Things are starting to get there it will just take some time

I don't think the media help. It was the first thing I heard on the news and I listen to R1. They spout it and we panic.

Most of my jobs have been word of mouth and recommended by others, but it gets frustrating i send cv's fill in apps and hear nothing back, for that to happen to youngsters must be devestating

I'm lucky that I have built up a big circle of customers and work for myself. Hope you find work soon Dave.
Most companies can't afford to send letters when you haven't been sucsessful dues to 1000's applying for 1 job now. I agree Dave don't envy the young kids trying to find work nowadays. Hardly anyone in the trades are training anymore
