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.
Same here but COVID debt is dragging me down big time. Summer 2024 is looking thinner than I’d like, but 2025 is strong, go figure.
Just started seasonal part time at UPS to try and get ahead of the curve. Half the people in my orientation class were business owners.
