Not that anyone is counting but I just remembered this article that I read in January 2009 about how 2008 was the worst year since 1946 in regards to job losses:
And then I kind of got to thinking, what are the numbers like this year. Well ladies and gentleman, we have already surpassed those numbers of 2008 at the end of March and now we have lost 50% more jobs by June 2009 than the total of 2008 if you can believe that. And we may be close to doubling the numbers we saw in 2008. That means that in 2009 we could lose over 5 million jobs, maybe more. Kind of a scary thought, but at least people still think that the real estate market is turning around!!
