When you read the newspapers, watch TV or browse through the Internet, you cannot help but be bombarded by talks about the economic crisis that is affecting the United States and boomeranging to the rest of the world. A lot of big companies like Intel and IBM have cut down jobs or closed down offices in the different parts of the world. Some other big companies are also planning to cut down on jobs, like sales jobs, software and design jobs on the coming days, even Starbucks is cutting down on jobs. It is during this time that I appreciate the fact that I have job security because I work for the government and have a permanent plantilla. During these uncertain times, it is very comforting to know that you still have work to go to when you wake up in the morning and that you are still receiving your pay regularly. I just hope that this economic crisis will pass by very quickly.
