Default economy

just curious,

i work in the construction business and it has been steadily slowing down throughout nyc.

less plans coming in.

not sure if it is because it is the end of summer and everyone is on vacation, or the economy.

thoughts?


has it been slowing down at your job?

I'm waiting for the $h!t to hit the fan here in my department......

But this is in general and not necessarily a product of the economy.

I'll vote "yes" anyway just cuz we're having a hard time selling our house.
