The poll is incomplete. I quit my job 5 months ago in the finance consulting industry to pursue other interests. Due to my fiscal discipline, I have close to a year of expenses saved up.
I think you will find the job market to be hot in some industries and cold in others. Location would play a role too I would imagine. For those who are unemployed and having difficulty finding jobs, what industry are you in?
Host: How's the restaurant industry faring where you are located? Are you still waiting tables part time? I think you could get a good gauge from your perspective. Here in Southern California it seems to be pretty hot still. Hard to get reservations at some restaurants and long waits at others. Bars and clubs are jammed. Vegas is booming too. Crowds everywhere, lots of money turning over.
Nationally, we are a tad over 6% unemployment now. I would be interested in a breakout of what regions and what sectors.
