Job Market In The Next 6 Months

[Victoria Whitehorne <vwhitehorne -at- cgn -dot- net>]

The current prospects here in the Detroit area aren't very good.  The auto
industry, a large employer of all people technical, has and continues to put
cost cutting measures in place.  Plus, its coming to the end of the year so
the budgets are running out.  I'm hoping that the beginning of the year
should offer some new hope as new projects are funded.  Even in
non-recessionary times, this time of year is pretty slow.  

I've been downsized from a full-time senior technical writer to an hourly
admin.  If I get billable technical writing work, I get paid a technical
writing salary.  Not the best situation but considering the
alternative--unemployment--I can live with it for a few months.
