Californians,

  I'm writing an article for a California news magazine on whether or 
not the state's economic rebound is spurring an increase in shopping.
Do you find yourself buying more things in recent months? Do you think
it has anything to do with the state coming out of its recession? Has
the state's upswing helped your own financial situation? Or are none of
the above true?

  Please post replies to any of the mentioned newsgroups, and/or e-mail 
me at simons@earthlink.net. I eagerly await to hear from you.

Sincerely,
  David Simons

Not here in Los Angeles working in the financial industry. After
struggling through the recession working for Prudential for $700 a
month, no benefits, no raise for two years. I land a good good
at $2000/mo full medical & dental. Just as my benefits are about
to start the firm is regulated out of business.
 
After passing out over 500 resumes I get about 5 calls, most
from temp agencies that all make you spend half the day
taking the same dumb Excel & Word quizes after keeping you
wanting in the lobby for an hour.
 
The government regulates small employers who provides good wages
and benefits out of business, while allowing big corporations
to merge and lay off tens of thousands of people.
