i am waiting for the axe to fall, but it looks like early steps from the government and a lot of of caution is reducing the effects of the so-called recession.. what are you guys seeing?

I'm not feeling the recession yet...but there are many bad signs. I think Bush's economic stimulus plan is politically driven and not really going to impact the economy.

Today's rate cut of 50bp and Bernanke's statement that "financial markets remain under considerable stress" do indicate fears of recession, if not an actual one.

 It's certainly messing up my travel plans, when the US dollar is getting lower and lower.  How am I supposed to go shopping?!?! :P


 


Seriously though, I've known at least two people so far to get laid off.  One was in a law office, the other in a medical office- the two most "recession proof" professions (imo).  Weird times.

YES! I work in finance and it is effecting my job everyday. I have friends who have gotten laid off and I am frankly terrified that I'll be next if it gets any worse.
