I'm in Michigan and its very bad here. DH and I are blessed to still have jobs, he works for the county and I'm a pet groomer. My 51 year old BIL has been looking for work for 18 months. I see a lot of empty houses and I have lost customers because they have moved out of state, we have also gained new customers because of other shops closing. 3 years ago I had my DH put in alittle grooming shop in my house, I have a few home customers. This way I'll have something to fall back on if something happens at the other shop
