As if my situation of being out of work fifteen months hasn't been bad enough, now my wife lost her job with Michigan's largest law firm. Her practice group's biggest client, Chrysler, has been demanding give-backs on the flat fee contract, like any other vendor, and workload has diminished, and they have to have a head count reduction. The other practice groups in the firm have a hiring freeze.

Chances for finding a new paralegal position is very slim, because those openings have evaporated just like outside sales jobs for me have gone down.

What we're going to do now, we're just too stressed out to think clearly. We would love to bail on Detroit, but like I posted earlier, a page or two back, dumping this house will be next to impossible.
