Are you afraid you might lose your job, with the way the economy is?

I am Retired and not working and who the fudge cares

No. There's a huge shortage of people working in my field, many centres are hiring right now (as they always are).

I'm afraid I won't be able to get a job!!!

My parents won't lose their jobs though..My dad is a teacher..so..always need those..Although they are doing budget cuts and he's the new guy..but we're not worried..And my mom won't lose her's because they already don't have enough people doing her job..And if they got rid of her..doctor's would have to stop taking samples of people's waste matter..

> I'm afriad I won't be able to get a job!!!

Go ahead and just Retire ?

I think I'm a little too young.

> I think I'm a little too young.

Yea you might be hehe maybe in 50 more years you can

Yeah, sounds like a plan.

No because I don't have a job. If I did have one, I would be.

A little. I'm already getting my hours cut back.

No. I am not afraid. I am self employed. My SO is working. If my SO cannot work then we will talk about fear.

Already lost a job based on this f**d economy

Yes, since I have only a one-year appointment and I might not be able to find another position. (So it's not so much that I'd lose my job as that I'd end up unemployed at the end of it.) I'm also worried that my SO could lose his job.

My company is facing tough times, we could be out of business at any time.

Let me guess, you`re a nurse?

No. I think that my company already realizes it made a big mistake in outsourcing half it's workforce, and realizes the importance of keeping my job here in the US. Also, we are in the middle of a huge new ad campaign to bring in new business... and I am the first step to bringing that in.

I do have some concern for my job, because a new facility is being built right now about 50 miles away for other aspects of the business. It has occurred to me that there could be secret plans to eventually move my job to that location. In my experience, big corporations like to play secret mind games like that with it's peons. If so, I'd possibly have to find something new.

Nope. Lucky me.

Nope, child care worker. Though I'm sure nurses aren't afraid of losing any jobs right now either.

I'm an at-home mom. How much more secure can you get than that?

My husband works for the state of Alaska department of revenue. I'm not worried about him losing that job. They want to promote him 6 months early, because he's so awesome.

I don't have a job.

I was not hired at the new cab company, because I was told I totalled 2 cabs, which is a lie.

I don't have a job.

Oh, wait, yes I do. I get paid to write really boring articles on the internet. I call it a job. It is what it is. I doubt I'm going to get laid off, because it's not a "real" job and I'm pretty sure nobody else would waste their time doing it.

Child care worker as in you work in a daycare?

Yes. Maybe not the highest paying job, but definitely one of the most secure.

No. My company is growing, hiring, I have more than enough to do. Even if I had nothign to do I'd still be here since they need specialists that can't be found elsewhere.

of course not

already have

It's the one pro of having supplemental income without benefits: I will never be fired, and always get my money unless I can prove that I can work and no longer disabled (like that'll happen).
