I own a hair salon. Typically, November is my busiest season. It has been SO quiet. A lot of my colleagues are also saying the same thing and have had to close up shop because of it - or get a second job.

People keep saying it will get better and the economy will bounce back but I don’t know. I am so close from just throwing in the towel, closing up shop and getting a corporate gig.

    I’m in a different sector, but seem to be holding the same as last year for now. However I was listening to an economic report on on pe of the NPR shows the other day and did hear about expected cuts to discretionary spending because of stimulus money being over and student loan repayments kicking back into gear. I expect my time is coming.
