As Governments cut back on spending to pay off the debts then expect unemployment to go up.

I started working back in the days when we were not importing $billions from China and the rest of the third world. Then jobs were plentiful, crime low and the outlook good.

Look at what you have around you and what you're wearing. Then ask yourself how many banking, retail and technical jobs it takes to mop up the jobs of those who use to make these goods.
