Local economy and job market

[rwilhelm]

IMO the Rhode Island economy is in the toilet. But it depends what you do for a job. If it is specialized and in demand you will have a lot less trouble finding something. With gas prices and the housing market in the dumps I don't see it getting better anytime soon. I work in manufacturing which is one of the worst hit sectors.

How is the economy down that way? I am sure it is a little rough right now also?
