Yes- employed. I fall into the same category as Mary above. It can be busy for a few weeks or over a month and then a sizeable lull follows. I have been optimistic that things were turning around a few times over the past 15 months but it was the old “false summit”, in mountaineering speak. Right now I am encouraged by some positive trends in the news.

Originally I answered yes – now it’s no.

Yes, Virginia does not seem to have been hit as hard as other states. Best of luck to you all.

[Fulya Mavituna Or]

Yes

[Shawn W. Cooper]

Feels kinda odd that I am now cleaning and repairing the facilities that I designed and built a few years ago. Am looking for the light at the end of the tunnnel … so to speak, but it sure is dark in there! Acceptance of the situation is currently the hardest part of the entire process and I am getting tired of hearing “…well at least you have a job.” While I apppreciate the employment and the opportunity it is still disheartening. Good Luck to all and keep pushing!

Yes, but on 80% pay plus 2 furlough days a month…so about 70% pay/hours. The good news is that I am retiring next month, so someone else can take my job.

[Ryan Sand]

yes

[Nate Hommel]

I’m one of the few still standing at my firm. Have been on 32 hours for 48 weeks now and had to do 6 weeks of furlough last November and December. Does not seem to be getting any better, my company just announced that they may reduce us to 24 hours from May to August. This is very hard for me, we have a 6 month old girl who has changed everything for me and my wife! I have been able to manage at 32 hours but 24 will not work. If anyone knows of any openings in Philadelphia for 8 years experience send me a message.
