Your business???

I'm with a central Ky educational system. Of course we have somewhat job security and the only problem we run into is where of course we are on a budget. Our fuel contracts have a certain waiver in them where when the fuel prices go up, the contract price can raise by a percentage. If the fuel prices keep going up and the percentages go beyond what is allocated, the money has to be found in other budgeted areas. Of course that basically means that if fuel cost remain on the rise, eventually someone else has to pay, and then another tax increase will probably be added to cover future cost. And you all have heard how some counties are going to or looking to go to 4-day school weeks. Personally, I don't think that will fly in all counties.

I guess I'm pretty lucky in this regard. I work in IT for a health insurance company, and while our stock did take a hit this year, it hasn't seemed to slow us down any. We're building a new datacenter in southern Jefferson County, and have hired a few new people the past year.

As some of you know I work in the Family support division for the state of Ky, are business is BOOMING, with all the layoffs and shutdowns, people that have never applied for Gov benifits are coming in, with the high cost of food and fuel a lot of working class are strugling. Another factory in our area is letting 400 go by Oct, so I have job security but have not had a decent raise in several years.1% does not get it, so myself I have been not able to fish or do things that I normally do as it has pinched me somewhat, due to my salary has not increased with the times as our leaders in the Ky senate and congress seem they are more deserving of a raise than the workers, they get a 5% every year and we get nothing and when we do they raise our ins costs, but not the legaslatiors. We actually have more clients than ever before and it is rising fast, and these are not your regular never worked never will good for nothings, these are the ones that have worked all their lives and now have no job and their uib is maxed out. But a least I have a job now, but now we have heard rumors that our jobs could be in jepordy as that are considering outsourcing to privite co's. Oh by the way the factory that is letting 400 go is moving to Mexico. They have been here for over 30 yrs.

I manufacture vinyl windows for residential market. We have been affected by the housing downturn. We are hanging in there and can not complain we have had a pretty good run up to this point. It will turn around and people will start buying homes as they are a good investment now. We rely more on remodeling than new construction. With increase in heating cost and drafty windows being the largest loser of heat we will see remodeling pick up before new construction. Sound like a commercial doesn’t it.
