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.

    Retail sales are down across the board. You may be seeing crowds but they aren’t spending nearly as much as they did earlier in the year. My company sells consumer goods to Target, Walmart and Costco. Sales are down from all of those retailers. We missed our sales projection by $10 million and that rarely happens during what is typically the best time of year for us.
