Is your Lakes Region Industry Up or Down?

I know that the obvious answer for most to think would be down, but there are some sectors in this economy that are doing well. My thought behind this post is to give someone that may now be finding themselves without a job, a direction to look in.

I personally work in the Construction industry and that is not doing so well. Being a larger professional remodeling company we have seen to this point that our schedule looks exactly as it has in the past two years, very slow to start, but we are not expecting things to start picking up though.

My wife works in food retail and is getting busier by the week and with the turn around rate of young kids in that industry, it is a great place for a hardworking individual to keep afloat until things get better. You may have to travel a little more south if you are a full timer in the area, but a job is money.
