I don't like to predict gloom and doom, but considering the unemployment levels found today, and being reported as not recovering hugely over the next 6 months, I see the christmas season as a bust. Who do you think is going to have high levels of disposable income at that point? Not many I assure you. Let alone willingness to get into the seasonal credit card debt, knowing they are fortunate to be eating and hopefully paying their bills. Na I see the so called selling season as very in the bucket.

The numbers are bad, however, its actually not that bad to be unemployed until July 31st.

In my state, you can get $400 a week on unemployment from the state + $600 a week from Federal govt until July 31st. That adjusts to a 52K/year job, which is more than a lot of people make while working.

So if you are unemployed or had your wages reduced, I strongly suggest looking at unemployment.

I'm friends with a LOT of REI employees who were let go and they never saw a 1000.00 in a week ever before. They are feeling rich right now. Hopefully they know it won't last.

Just make sure they know that the money is taxable income.
