Well, some of my economist friends have reminded me that the last "Great Depression" lasted over ten years. And that this one seems almost as bad. It took the growing military tensions and the military weapon manufacture expansion of that time to kick-start the economy again.

Yeah, a lot of people have lost their jobs (or had their pay reduced), lost their lifetime savings and even their homes.

Many factories application for bankrupt because of lacking money,lose customers….cannot face the competitive global economy, a lot of people lost their jobs and have no money to surport their life. Meanwhile, some company choose cut the salary and no salary risen as the option to keep running. I'd like to say if one day you really dismissed, you need to think over why? why you cannot face the competitive society? maybe at that time find another better job is not easier than before, but  that's surely possible if you are capable.We need to full our knowledge and skills to face the risks and competitive at any time, not the time when risks coming…Come on!
