So many employers have had to lay full-time employees off, yet the work remains to be done.

For example, automotive writing fell off considerably in January and the beginning of February, but it is starting to make a slow comeback. I can only imagine that writing which is tangentially related to specific industries hit hard by the financial crisis will see a paring back when it comes to content production. <abbr><em>Benjamin Hunting’s last blog post..<a href="http://benjaminhunting.com/?p=91" rel="nofollow">3 Important Event Planning Tips</a></em></abbr> I find that how ‘recession-proof’ your writing career is has a lot to do with the niche you have established for yourself.
