Your examples talk about commodities and manufactured goods, but what is your take on service sector products. Do you see the same trend there being a low cost basic level service then higher cost add-on levels? The name of the game right now for a business/ person is to stay lean and mean and clear as much debt. If you have a job be thankful. And as was stated above, people are not going to spend till they feel secure in their future. Market_dogma Jim,

We do automotive parts and in the US, my buddies are working 84 hour work weeks. Seven days a week 12 hours a day. The demand has picked up considerably. We are also working that same amount of hours in China. Growth is coming from both markets and we are having trouble keeping up with the demand. I think many companies have cut to the bone and will take advantage of employees until the job market actually comes back. Some companies probably need people, but will not hire. If you dont work these hours, you could be the next on the chopping block, so everyone keeps working as many hours as it takes to keep their job. On top of the unemployed looking for jobs, their are many people in this type of situation in the economy who are also looking for jobs, just to be able to scale down hours. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Well I have to say these numbers don’t match what is happening at our company.

That is very slow growth and it will only happen when the consumer is comfortable with there personal finances. Most of the working class is more concerned about the basics, than a new tv or a non essential item. Its going to be slow going for at least two more years until the personal financial picture gets better. These numbers only point in one direction .

All we have to do is figure out a way to sell them our inexpensive, fantastically engineered, well manufactured, beloved brand named, consumer goods.... Oh, shit... wait a minute, where is the growth going to come from ??? Where will the growth come from?, I think right now, most people believe Brazil, Russia, India, China…
