All I know is I just lost my job in Savannah, so I'm not impressed.

Thanks, ellie. I'm trying to be retired, but really not ready yet.

You'll find something you enjoy. Take a little break, do some things you haven't had time to do, and find a new job this spring.

That's what I'm thinking. Doing some projects around the house and taking some trips.

Read this in Bill Dawers column in today's SMN and immediately thought of you:

"Well, it’s official: 2012 was a good year for employment in the Savannah metro area.
Of course, while last year was a good year for local jobs, it wasn’t good enough to make up for all the bad years preceding it.
If it didn’t feel like a good year, you might work in one of the fields that is lagging the recovery such as construction or financial activities.
Or you might be one of many jobseekers who can’t get your resume noticed in a crowded field of applicants.
Or you might be getting pinched by several years of stagnant wages.
Or you might have adopted the deep cynicism encouraged by some media outlets and doomsaying politicians.
If you fall into the last camp, it’s also likely you will simply reject the economic data released by the Georgia Department of Labor and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics."

Bill is correct, Adam Van Brimmer is wrong. He's a useless cheerleader.

The growth in Savannah is tourism driven. Even Adam in his column said he "thinks" other industries may play a role as well, but apparently has no evidence.

However, Bill forgets: perception IS reality. If people think the economy stinks, then it does.
