We're hit hard here in California too. The end of last year 3 high rises that were coming out of the ground were stopped and the holes in the ground filled back in. I was lucky because I made it until Jan before I got laid off, but have about 250 ahead of me on the out of work list.
During the Dot-Com bust and recession, an electrician could scrounge up little jobs here and there to eke by on, but there none of those now because no one is spending money on their homes or small businesses. They're all eking by too.I know lots of people who are in trouble with their houses, battling to keep them and not all of them were sub-prime mortgages. And we're the solid middle class.

I agree with Sparky that its going to get worse before it gets better.
