This morning I found a good post.

Every month, the employment picture looks bleaker when compared to the same month last year.
First, the entire state of New Mexico, comparing October ‘07 to October “08:

Job growth was .o1% — the lowest in 17 years
Manufacturing (including the high-paying tech industry) lost 2,500 jobs
Construction lost 1,500 jobs
Leisure and hospitality shed 1,400 jobs
Financial services also lost — a total of 700 jobs

Keeping us (barely) in the ‘+’ column are:

Eduction and health services added 4,400 jobs
Mining (mainly exploration) added 1,000 jobs
Government added 1,900 jobs
Information (including our growing film industry) added just 100 jobs

When the focus is narrowed to just the Albuquerque area, the picture does not improve. Overall unemployment on a year-to-year basis increased from 3.3% to 4.6%. And, payroll employment fell a total of 1,500 jobs on a year-to-year basis.
Imagine what it must be like in one of the states with real problems!

eloise-mynewmeico.blogspot.com had a good post today.

Because of the mild, high desert climate of Albuquerque, we can expect pleasant, sunny days even in mid winter. Consequently, every season is a good season for buying and selling real estate. In Albuquerque, the real estate business is perennial.
I plan to hold two house open this weekend and I will take appointments for showing two others. The range in prices reflects the diversity of the inventory available.
If the sun shines, as it is expected to, it should be a delightful day to show houses. To encourage you to attend, I made a video tour for you.

Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving in the words of a famous American . . .

God, give us thankful hearts in this season of Thanksgiving. May we be thankful for health and strength, for sun and rain, and peace. Let us to seize the day, and opportunity to strive for that greatness of spirit that measures life not by its disappointments but by its possibilities, and let us remember that true gratitude shows itself neither in independence, nor satisfaction… but in passing the gift joyfully on in larger and better form.

–W.E.B. Du Bois, as quoted in A Grateful Heart, M. J. Ryan (Editor)

Realtor:WilliamStaab blogged about a good topic today on sellyourhousenewmexico.blogspot.com.
The first paragraph….

I was watching the financial news today, my mind finally gave up trying to wonder where and how much of “OUR MONEY (or our grandchildrens money)” was now going to which wall street firm or bank and to bailout who.
Citigroup got how much?
Wells Fargo I wouldn’t come knocking anytime soon after the merger with Wachovia since the top ten executives are getting $98.1 million in compensation as part of a severence package.
So exactly what is the running number of how many Billions of Dollars we are “Giving Away” exactly what are the terms of getting any of this money back?
Well in the spirit of giving instead of writing a check to your local Wall Street CEO or other corporate executive I recommend these charities:
