Has anyone thought that maybe there are less jobs showing up in searches as they are filled alot faster due to people being laid off?

Or am I completely wrong :D

The actual numbers for job listings are down massively. Most places are cutting numbers. I know in my field horticulture/landscaping there aren't too many jobs other than the unskilled ones associated with the field.

ahkay... bad news for me!

I'm in IT, busy as ever. Not seeing any issues here.

Ditto, absolutely fine...

the way I see it, computers are always going to break down and need someone to fix them ( well atleast for the next few years)

our company just bought 6 weeks ago 15 brand new comps.

The only thing I noticed is the IT budget for the next year is a little lower, but apart from that it is fine.

I do have mates that are carpenters though, that from full time work have been cut back to 3 days a week :D

Spot on the money mate, essential services. Lucky us hey!

Im a fish farmer, work hard, try to manage a tourism venture at the same time and i notice it. We have betweeen 20-30% less people come through and when its a small family business when 4-6 people are doing the work of 12 at least we can first sack the imaginary 6 people first... but the good thing in it all is at least i produce food. If all else fails i cann eat salmon for ...... hmmm..... 10 years.... Yum...

IT is safe is it? Lets just hope most of the IT jobs won't cross the ocean to India.

Sounds like a non-IT person to me :P

I work in a company and have been working with offshore teams since I got out of university, while there is continual pressure to push more offshore because it *appears* to be cheaper, it often costs more in the long run, it strictly depends on how experienced the people employed onshore and offshore are.

There are many positions that are extremely hard to offshore, and there are some that are extremely easy to offshore, most of the easy ones were off-shored years ago, both IT and non-IT.

The the guys saying there is "no issue in IT" in this thread, you obviously don't work for a consulting company....consultants are out of favor at the moment, while permanents are becoming more attractive.

IT budgets are been cut, so there is less project spending, but in support things are still fine, I mean companies need to keep running ;)

Curious about how the other IT companies are doing....

Well i'm in the banking industry :cool:

Luckily I managed to keep my position through all the dramas - we have had massive cuts ~1,000

I have definitely noticed cut backs - no more lunch's, travel, equipment etc etc it's all been pulled into line.

I'm very thankful that I kept my job as in the banking industry at present its pretty slim pickings...

Luckily Australia hasn't been as heavily exposed in the same sense as the US or Europe etc, our 4 major banks now hold AA credit ratings - which translates to lower funding costs, something not easy to acheive.

Also our 4 majors are now considered in the top 20 banks worldwide, this is a very big deal given the names in the top 20 - really opens your eyes to the beating they have received!

It's been said before but if you didn't stretch yourself i.e. borrow money to within an inch of your life and your sensible you'll ride it out, live on the other end of the scale however and it's going to be a rough ride...

My 2 cents

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
