Dont be so wrong deadzone, you said biggest employer not biggest industry. Even so I would say tourism, healthcare and education are each at least as large. I understand how big defense is around here but there is a difference between General Dynamics picking up stakes and over 10K jobs at once vs. various cuts across smaller employers. Youve been saying the economy was gonna crash here for years and its been a relative bright spot in the country across the recession. Its improving already in many sectors. You can doom and gloom all you want but reality is that things take time to happen, alot of time. And guess what? Time allows other wounds to heal. Its gonna be OK. Maybe not for you as I’m guessing you depend on the DoD budget but overall SD has a bright future over the long term. Only gonna get better.
