Unfortunately "job security" is a contradiction in terms. One alternative is to create your own "economy", which I included in a recent post: http://randyreek.com/economy

Just a way to get the Amish vote. Fossil fuel pollutes and is not going to last so we put strict regulations on it till we put it out of business. Green energy blocks the view, makes noise, birds, fish and desert turtles may be affected by it, so we will cut out any tax incentives to develop it. Does anyone know where I can take some classes on candle and arrowhead making or how to hitch a horse to a buggy? That seems to be the way our future is heading.

Work @ LM once. LM stands for Lousy Management. Previous layoffs were the first hired and they kept there buddies who were hired later.

Look at the bright side. We've had 170 and 90 laid off this week in AR. Now we add another 200. More votes against Obama and his "recovery" and "change"?

did you know that the cost to manufacture just ONE windmill blade is around $80k and the US GOVT, via the tax payer $$, forks out $200k to that company, per windmill blade. And the blades just sit out there, not being used...Ahhh gotta love govt efficiency.
