Where,s The Work In Michigan?
What is happening to our economy? I have been in business for over 25 years and the work just doesn,t seem to be there this year. I do the best I can to give to price construction,new built homes, and steel roofs. I offer quality work but these fly by night contractors are under cutting me like crazy. If try to beat their prices I.ll starve. I have a reputation for being one of the best contractors around but I,m struggling to stay a float.

Re: Where,s The Work In Michigan?
Well, it's some tough times around here.
My suggestion would be to get a job in a different line of work than the construction biz. Or move out of state! I think the whole country is going to feel what we have here. We have a 9 trillion dollar debt to pay off, all in the last 5 yrs. OUCH!! So much for smaller gub-mint. Everyone I know is out of work. The good ole days are long gone, now it's just survival of the fittest. Good luck to ya, Pop's Last edited by pwrpapa; 12-01-2006 at 10:33 AM. |
