The economy isn't recovering nearly as well as
anyone would have hoped. Many of the guys I worked with in IT have
also found jobs, but as with my situation, they all pay less. It's
now an employer's market, and we're left with the scraps they want to
offer.
I can't speak for larger companies, and can only speak for the small
business that I own, but my take home pay has dropped 75% since Sept.
11. I kept my employees and they still get paid, but with the slump
in business it doesn't leave much for me. My problem is that I am
working just as many hours as I did when I was making more money so there
hasn't been any more time for geocaching. :-(
You are right, the economy isn't recovering nearly as well as would be
nice, but it will come around, just have to hold on until it
does.
In liberty,
