Strangely, in these bad times my mother's company's business actually became better than ever, she works 7 days a week in a tutoring centre that, well, helps students, typically high school ones, with homework and to prepare for exams, etc. Probably because more students are deciding to pursue post-secondary studies rather than find jobs immediately after graduation due to these bad times, hence they decide to get some extra help to improve their chances. I guess the education sector really can hold its own against economic turndowns, just like the medical sector. I'm considering that field as a possible career nowadays. The trades are holding up ok but it's only those that are directly useful to society, e.g. plumbing, electricity, those like carpentry and stuff are hit bloody hard.
Still though, I'm seeing lots of "employment spaces available" at food court stalls.
