Our jobless rates are still on fire this week as some more of our bigger companies have said to the news stations that they will be laying off more people. When will this stop happening? I hope that it will be soon. There aren't enough jobs in this country for all of the people that are getting the boot because we don't have the jobs for the people that are already out of work.
If this problem keeps on going as it is now, not only will it be on fire but it will be one of the biggest fires this country has ever seen. This problem will have a landslide effect at every level of business. It has started with the big banks and companies, and it will keep going until it hits the small businesses as well.
With all of these people losing their jobs, they will have to cut corners to make ends meet, which in turn will cause that company to lose business or sales. If it keeps going, these companies will in turn have to start laying off to keep their business going, and the same thing will keep happening until there is nothing left. Whole towns can become affected by this chain of events and in most cases, this town will die or dry up.
If this happens most of the areas that have only one big business can kill several small towns around it if the business goes down. In this country we have so many small towns that might live off of this one bigger city in regards to their business. With all of these companies that are closing or just laying off, they are putting a lot of these smaller businesses in trouble as well as themselves.
I was looking in our hometown paper today and noticed that there weren't any ads for hiring of jobs in the 10 small towns and cities that this paper covers. This should be telling us that these places are in trouble again of melting away. Most of the bigger plants that used to be in this area have either closed down or just left this area. Now all we have for businesses are small family shops that just don't need any people other than family to run these shops.
With so many places and all of their people out of work, these same people might have to move out of this town or city to find work, which can make this town become a ghost town, which we haven't seen in a long time.
