The onslaught, a symptom of the voracious competition for dwindling numbers of day jobs, can be surprising to the unsuspecting, and even frightening.

Opinion of this?

I know that the Home Depot gatherings have been going on a lot for a long time. I know a local gathering (not at HD) looks smaller lately because I think folks are leaving here to go back home.

FedEx (used to be Kinko's) is having a "print your resume here free" day today.

One of my siblings lost his job but has an interview down here this weekend.
