The cold , hard truth

Sad truth isn't it

 

The cold hard truth is that those will be about the same percentages in all areas of the economy.

2.6 Million people lost their jobs this year.

3-6 Million more will lose their jobs this year. (expected unemployment by end of year will be 9-10% and is 7% now)

So should I apply for welfare now and just wait? Should I not bother to find work anywhere because that industry's unemployment numbers are rising as well?

Think about it.

 

The problem with statistics...

Look at the attrition rate per company. You could get counted 2 and 3 times in the same stat and still have a job.

Next, well over 1 in 10 drivers have problematic DAC's and MVR's for one reason or another. As a newb, you can estimate your chances in the market accordingly.

And 3rd, if you don't know 1 in 10 PEOPLE that wouldn't be just fine staying home until unemployment runs out before finding another job, you don't get out much.

 

Not to be a smart ##### but I all ways say that 52% of statistics are made up numbers! I am with out a job but am not unemployed according to the government because I am not drawing unemployment pay(company denied my claim and fought it)so don't get to caught up in stats.Bean counters can adjust to show what they want.The difference between a recession and a depression is "it's a recession when your neighbor is unemployed and a depression when YOU are unemployed"!

 

That blows but i will still try to get into trucking cuz it something that i wanted to do forever and im goint to try no matter what to get myself there.

 

I was supposed to start school with Driver Solutions March 9 but after talking to some driver friends and reading the posts here about how bad it is out there i've decided to put it off for about 6 mths to see if things get better. I hate my warehouse job but hey, it pays the bills and at least I still have a job. Good luck to all of you out there trying to make it!
