Good Day?
November 12th, 2008You know the market's in a recession when Google enters a hiring freeze.
On a more personal level, here's my retirement (glad it's 40 years off). We changed providers pretty recently, so you're looking at just a few months of data. Yellow is employee/company contributed, blue is actual value.

Mine looks pretty similar except the Y axis incremented by dollars instead of thousands of dollars.

The advantage of working for lousy hourly wages with no benefits: I’ve lost nothing. Mostly since I have nothing there to lose.

yea, we implemented a external hiring freeze a couple weeks ago, not so good time to be a banker.
