Check out the APT/HOUSING listings in your area. Here in the Hartford area, the rental listing have gone from a dozen or so daily posts to lists so long you have to scroll and scroll and scroll to reach the bottom. Meanwhile, all the various employment listings (at least in the fields I've been looking at) have shrunk to just one or two a day.

Of course, Bush's Billionaires don't use Craigslist, so the deniers lurking won't be able to deal with this.

2. Check the Business catagory in for sale.
People dumping equipment and whole businesses for a song. America is so screwed.

6.  I haven't looked at the rentals but
I have looked at the jobs here in los Angeles and it has not only gotten alot shorter many listings repeat , and what jobs they are , mostly part time and subcontract type employment . Plenty of messenger driver jobs , did that , horrid job , horrid . I have had some luck selling a few items on craigs list since Ebay costs to much now .

I have been on all other main job sites too and most have much less than 6 months ago especially in the automotive dealership jobs .

Yet these repub freaks keep telling us the employment rate is on the rise and un- employment is down . There is no way on earth this is true , no way sorry .

After a year of searching on craigs list I did find one small job through a lamp shop and a possible job at a guitar repair shop . I have no idea what the guitar shop pays .

I think we are , rather those in need of a job that pays much at all are in for a real rough ride , I know I have been .
