I have just watched some news where earnings from the flower industry have come down by 40%. The west is not buying as much as it used to. The effects of this,of course are obvious-job cuts in the flower industry etc. The tourism industry continues to suffer as less people have little money to spend on vacations. The mass lay offs and closures of hotels at the coast last year is a good example of how globalised the economy is. Talk of riple effects! Is there anything the government can do to save the situation? In my opinion,no. In the past our government has failed to sort out small problems. So,my advise to you is - save and save and save. You never know that job you think is so secure may not be there tomorrow.

I fired my secretary! Smart nosed trouble rouser! Had nothin to do with recession. Anyway..FKE statistics projected 50% private companies layin of and realigning their human resource! For skerians likely to join mlefu on couch potatoing... Hope u hav enough reserves to last 6months.

The race is not always to the swift..nor the battle always to the strong..nor food always to the wise..nor riches always to the intelligent..favor is not always to the skilled..or learned..but time and chance happens to all. Ecl9:5..

yes,dont ignore global recession-last year in the midst of PEV-flower industry surpassed target in that early year( must have heard somewhere they make a big chunk of annual earnings in first quarter of year.

it could mean that with all the talk and excuses of PEV for reduced performance in economy generally,we could be in for a very big surprise come global recession effect.

We actively did something to stop Pev,cant figure out much that we are doing to counter global recession,unlike in the west.

Could we be just sitting duck -our destiny depending on how west will counter the recession? but of course they 'whites with blue eyes' - to quote the brazillian Lula- have to be forefront because theycreated it.

Once the recession starts to hit us really good there will be no help for it,especially from our broke government front,and the stage will be set for each one for himself and God for us all...
