2008 is coming to an end and by now you probably know that America is in an economic crisis. This was the theme of the 2008 election and questions are still on the mind of the public who want to know just how bad the situation is, if and when it will affect every industry (perhaps even your job) and how it can be repaired. The general consensus is that every industry is at least feeling the recession’s effects, at least to a degree. This may involve less sales overall, higher expenses, or for some businesses, perhaps dramatic losses.
