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.
Printing business here in Seattle. It’s been a rough, up and down year. November is usually a strong month, but we’re just barely making it. Doesn’t look good. But large companies doing stock buy backs seem to be doing well.
