Ok, it’s official.  At least as far as New York is concerned, it’s a Depression – yes, with a capital ‘D’.  Let me count – 1, 2, 3 people I can think of off the top of my head no longer have a job.

The first one worked at Goldman Sachs and CSFB doing Mortgage Backed Securities – I guess that was a foregone conclusion

The second was doing journeyman architecture for a financial company.  He loves architecture but he’d really do any job that requires a brain and gives him a reliable paycheck.

Now that I think of it, I know an actual architect who lost his job as well.

Oh, and the third person is a Senior Windows Systems Administrator.  That’s a skill that should still be in demand even in this environment – although he was just laid off with zero severance.

If anybody needs one of these people – send me a line.
