my job is slow right now, no hours this week. But, they want to send me to Quebec for 10 weeks in the very near future. So im willing to wait it out as travelling job tend to be quite lucrative!

^ Unions need to be abolished. Down with CAW.

In regards to the economy, no it hasn't affect my line of work. International trade is still strong, and commodities are being traded at higher prices due to the decrease in production from my suppliers.

Hasnt effected me directly but more inderectly, because of the slowing economy more people have been putting through claims on their insurance insted of paying out of pocket and it has drove car insurance rates up. So even though I recieved a rate deduction of 15% it really made no difference at all.
