    So far I have not had any problem with my job, but have heard of lots of places that are laying off workers, hope non of DP people have lost its job because of this situation.

    Hope nothing happens like the great recession.

    though being out of your job because of lay offs and recession, I think it is a matter of perspective. I'm sure that there'd be other ways out there to earn decent income to keep our lifestyle.

    I always recommend having a job as well as a business at the same time. Being an employee sets limits on us. Having our own business, though difficult at first, lets us have more freedom.

    I don't know because I can't feel the financial crisis because my salary is just only for me and I don't have a family yet although I have parent and sister they can manage there self my parents owns a big business in our province and my sister is a programmer specialist and my salary is just only her tax. So my money is just for only my self to buy the things I want and to do what ever I want.

    Nobody is safe in a job, recession or not. Always have a secondary income like affiliate marketing :D

    I am relatively safe here as my day job is least influenced by the global financial turmoil, though my online earnings may fluctuate a little bit :)

    I'm actually looking for a job at the minute and am having no luck finding one, due to the financial crisis. No one around my town seems to be taking on, and any job that does come up seems to have everyone looking for a job applying for the same jobs.

    It threaten me a lot.
    Our orders from our customs drop dramaticly,
    because our customs get less orders from their customs. The reason is obviously the financial crisis and the us dollars devalue.

    Surely many jobs are affected or in risk of being affected. What's also sure is that many new opportunities will arise and many new creative ideas can help stabilize your income...
