London Doing Even Worse Than New York

“Clearly, the financial crisis has pummeled both [New York and London]. Major banks have collapsed, and others are expected to require more infusions of taxpayer cash if they are to survive. London and New York share an unemployment rate—7.4%—that is only expected to climb as financial services jobs disappear by the tens of thousands and the loss reverberates in the broader economy…By many measures—the state of its financial markets, home prices, jobs and economic diversity—the British capital has fallen further…Another key component, the housing markets, exploded in both cities in recent years. Though London’s bubble has burst, New York’s has just deflated.” — Crain’s
ah! The Great Beloved, Mr. Snark! I admit I may have overstated the twirling moustachios for the Great EVLL. She has to draw them on in eyebrow pencil.

You rang?
As in the Great Evil Landlord. Think twirling moustachios and the dreaded midwinter knock on the door 🙂
You wouldn’t be normal if you didn’t have a few anxiety attacks, rob. we all listen to the drumbeats of doom from the newspapers- that’s what sells them but I would talk to people like dave, who are real insiders to get a better perspective. Was at unemployment last week and even they say people are hiring but you may have to look in another career area than the one you’ve been working in. You sound like you have a lot of diverse skills- that’s always a plus.
When I’m really gasping for air I try to remember that 7+% unemployment is still 93% employed (please- don’t anyone disillusion me. I’m gasping for air this morning).
ENY…bxgrl has a very nasty landlord who is a regular poster here. But that’s a joke really.
“the Great EVLL”
who?
I think it’s normal Rob. Most people are feeling a little nervous. Focus on the good things. This will pass and spring is almost here.
If it makes you feel any better, I have two acquaintances who were laid off last month and both landed better jobs this past week.
One landed a GREAT job which pays what she was looking for for full time work to work only 3 days a week.
Job are out there.
It sounds like with your personality, you could score a new job if you had to pretty easily. Don’t worry about it. It doesn’t help to worry. It does absolutely nothing.
no it’s definitely not that. ive been feeling like this for a few weeks now. it just hit me much harder today. maybe cuz they fired more maintenance people in my office building friday evening. hey Thor Equities if youre reading this i have two words for you. YOU S*CK
*r*
panic attack?! your taking this way too seriously. You have your youth, your friends, and health! this recession will pass in time.
Just look at it this way….you could be married and supporting 3 kids with a hefty mortgage to pay.
Don’t worry about it ……..
