    The global recession - in photos



    Hotel property manager Paul Martinez kicks in a tenant's door after no one answered the knock during an eviction February 26, 2009 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The tenant said that he was laid off from his job in a retail store two months ago and had fallen behind on his rent payments at the low-budget hotel. (John Moore/Getty Images)




    Thousands of job-seekers flock to a job fair in Hefei, Anhui province, China on March 1, 2009. At least 20 million of China's 130 million migrant workers have become jobless after tens of thousands of labor-intensive export-oriented factories closed due to the global financial crisis, and job training schemes for migrant workers are springing up around China, Xinhua News Agency reported.

    People attend the REDC Foreclosure Home Auction in New York, in this photo taken March 8, 2009. About 1,400 people crowded into New York's first foreclosure auction over the weekend. One family bought a 2,062-square foot home in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York for just $12, 500 or $6 per square foot, according to the New York Post. (REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton)




    Brittney Nance holds her head as she works on her laptop in her motel room at the Old Town Inn March 5, 2009 in West Sacramento, California. Brittney and her family were evicted from the house they were renting after her husband, Steve Nance, lost his job. The couple and their three children are living in a budget motel while they save enough money for deposit on a new rental home, but are finding it difficult as they pay nearly $1200 a month for the motel room.

    Dodge SUVs sit parked in the Atlantic Marine Terminal at the port of Baltimore February 18, 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland. As the worldwide economic downturn persists and automobile sales continue to slow, more than 57,000 new automobiles sit idle in the port of Maryland. The state of Maryland recently paid $5.26 million for almost 15 acres of additional car storage space near the port, freeing space for more cargo.

    I guess we are seeing a classic example of why you dont produce more than you can sell.

    What are the production costs on those Durango's I wonder?

    A general view shows a halted construction of a highway called "Lulin" near capital Sofia, Bulgaria November 26, 2008. The highway is facing serious delay due to lack of funding, according to local media.

    Fallout 3 any one?

    The recession never really bothered me since I know my job is pretty secure... but seeing these pics actually depressed me quite a bit. I guess I never realized how much I took my job for granted.

    For those of us who lost our jobs at the start of the recession this hit home quite seriously. I now am extremely thankful to have found a job I feel I could make my career...Thank god I found something at this point.

    Like the people who didn't lose their jobs say they appreciate them I sure as hell appreciate having found a job in these harsh times.

    I never really thought of the affects of the recession... not to that extent.
