Airline Layoffs Begin Today & The House Just Left For Recess -- Without a Stimulus Deal...

-

I thought Pelosi and Mnuchin were going to work out a stimulus deal by today. I was obviously wrong. The house has left for October recess without any deal between the house and senate. The election is early November, which only leaves a little time to work out an agreement. 

One group that was hoping for a deal to be worked out this week, are airline workers. About 35,000 airline workers were laid off today. Another 10,000 will be either furloughed or laid off by the middle of the month.

In addition to the airline industry, the banking and hospitality industries are also expected to layoff thousands by the end of the year. 

Let's hope that Pelosi and Mnuchin are continuing to talk during the October recess.

NEWS TIDBITS: Landlords Get Help Evicting Tenants & No Government Shutdown

-
Good News! Looks like there won't be a government shutdown after all.  Now the bad news. Economists are predicting a double-dip recession if a new stimulus bill is not passed. I'm sure no one is surprised by this. I recommend continue calling your state senators and representatives to get this bill passed.  Next on the agenda...I recently found out that there is a new startup called "Civvl" that helps landlords evict people who are behind on their rent. The company is currently posting ads for "eviction crews" across the country. Now I'm not against anyone starting a business, it's just that this is not the type of business I expected to see during these times. But, I guess when you think about it...there is definitely a market (unfortunately) for this type of service.  You can find more information on the above mentioned topics from the articles below...
