I know the construction industry has tanked all over the country, but this is ridiculous. After 20 years in the business as a trim carpenter, framer, superintendent, and PM, I can't find a damn thing.

Did a lot of high-end work before, now the best I can find is day labor for substandard rates.

This sucks.

Trumbull, but I've gone as far as Branford for a few days' work.

I used to work for a company that pretty much did all custom kitchen and bath design/build stuff.


ETA: Wow, I was just venting, didn't intend for this to be an ad...... But sure, I'll check out pretty much any kind of work!

Yeah, I know. This is a traditionally tough time of year, and personal circumstances make it tougher. You're right, I know things will turn around eventually.
Thanks for the reality check, it's just really disheartening out there right now.
