Yep, it trickles right on down to manufacturing. Wife's company has lost about 45% now.

Nah, that's not what this thread is about. Once Raul posts in a thread, it's about Mexicans or pot. Sorry OP.
Can't it be about Mexicans AND pot??
Haha....In the downtown Tulsa thread he got real quiet, or rather had no proof of illegals being paid under the table on downtown projects. He might do better with that argument pertaining to smaller "businesses" or in this thread....individuals.
Pot$$$ and Mexicans = a sack of weed and another sack of Buenos bean burritos to go with it. And a Mt Dew, Bueno has Pepsi products now...
The bad thing about staying employed until late in the bust, is most decent jobs are gone early.
I don't like to see anyone lose a job when they do good work.
Some people have skills that are salable somewhere else, just for less money. Others aren't so lucky.
But I guess that's all true when you catch any industry in down turn mode.
As in the '80s downturn, there will be people who never get back to work in the oil field, some will re-invent themselves and some will struggle.
State, county and city budgets will all get up ended.
It's like ripples in the pond,who knows what it will really cost Oklahomans, but, all do benefit from lower fuel prices.
As for the OP, just try to make it out the other side, that's all anyone does anyway.

Haha! This place is awesome. The total social polarity and blinders goes both ways.
I wouldn't expect many of them to find jobs with comparable pay and benefits especially the technical staff. My department lost 4 technical people and 2 support staff.
Same with my wife's company. They have gone through the machinists and are getting into the tech staff now. They wiped out the whole IT department, and have opted to go with a foreign tech support.
Yikes.... we know how well THAT usually works out.
