I have often wondered what would happen to someone who just got so far into debt that they could not manage any more and recently I have found out the answer : Nevada bankruptcy. My friend just loves spending money and even when he lost his job he was not prepared to go without things and so he just continued to spend. I was amazed that he came back with designer clothes, DVD’s and CD’s, alcohol and luxury foods every day, even though he had no money coming in.

Of course he was using his credit cards to finance it and eventually he got into major trouble as the amount of interest he was being charged was far greater than he could even afford if he had a job. He has therefore contacted a Las Vegas bankruptcy attorney in the hope that they will be able to help him get out of the mess. Obviously he needs to do something and although this seems like an extreme measure, it might just help him to see the error of his ways and start a clean slate without any debt or at least without lots of little bits of debt. I have even managed to get him an interview for a job and he is determined to sort himself out so hopefully the Las Vegas bankruptcy lawyers will be able to give him the advise and guidance that he needs and he will be back on top of things again soon.

Unemployment rates moved higher in 98 percent of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas, with Indiana’s Elkhart-Goshen and Dalton, Ga., registering the biggest annual increases.

The U.S. Labor Department reported Wednesday that 363 of the 369 metropolitan areas saw their jobless rates rise in December from a year earlier.

Elkhart-Goshen and Dalton — which both experienced manufacturing layoffs in recent months — had the largest increases in their unemployment rates from December 2007.

Elkhart-Goshen’s unemployment rate soared to 15.3 percent in December, up a whopping 10.6 percentage points from December 2007. The area has been bruised by layoffs in the recreational vehicle industry. Hundreds of workers have lost their jobs at RV makers such as Monaco Coach Corp., Keystone RV Co. and Pilgrim International.

The jobless rate in Dalton, home to many floorcovering manufacturers, jumped to 11.2 percent, up 6.2 percentage points from a year earlier.

An avalanche of layoffs is hitting the nation, sparing no state or community.

Fallout from the housing, credit and financial crises — the worst since the 1930s — has plunged the country into a recession, now in its second year. That’s taking a heavy toll on workers as companies eliminate jobs, cut or freeze pay and turn to other cost-saving measures to survive the downturn.

El Centro, Calif., continued to lay claim to the nation’s highest unemployment rate — 22.6 percent. The jobless rate is notoriously high in the area, where many unemployed are seasonal agriculture workers, including some who live in Mexico to be with family or to cut costs.

Following El Centro were Merced, Calif., with a jobless rate of 15.5 percent, Yuma, Ariz., at 15.4 percent and then Elkhart-Goshen.

Meanwhile, Morgantown, W.Va., and Logan, which straddles Utah and Idaho, registered the lowest unemployment rates of 2.7 percent and 2.8 percent respectively.

Stocks turned lower Friday as investors worried that the economy, though perhaps not as troubled as feared in late 2008, is only getting worse.

The Commerce Department said gross domestic product, the widely followed measure of the economy, shrank at a 3.8 percent pace in the final three months of the year. That compared with a 0.5 percent decline in the previous quarter.

Friday’s reading was much better than the 5.4 percent drop economists expected.

Still, the figure could be revised lower in the months ahead — and some analysts believe the economy has been contracting in early 2009 at an even faster pace. Earnings reports have been disappointing, and layoffs have been piling up.

“GDP is a backward-looking piece of information,” said Craig Peckham, market strategist at Jefferies & Co. “It’s hard to pinpoint a highly convincing case that the economic and earnings picture will improve.”

Exxon Mobil Corp. last year surpassed its own record for annual earnings by a U.S. company, but saw a big drop in profit during the fourth quarter. Chevron Corp.’s fourth-quarter results also suffered from the late-2008 plunge in oil prices.

And consumer-products company Procter & Gamble Co. said that while fourth-quarter quarter profit jumped 53 percent after selling its Folgers coffee business, sales dipped 3 percent on weakening demand for its products — which include Tide detergent, Olay skin cream and Crest toothpaste.

Declining sales are also hitting Honda Motor Co. hard — the Japanese automaker slashed its 2009 profit target by more than half as its earnings dropped 90 percent in the latest quarter.

And Japanese electronics maker NEC Corp. said it will cut 20,000 jobs worldwide as it reported a $1.46 billion loss for the fourth quarter.

In midmorning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 48.91, or 0.60 percent, to 8,100.10. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 5.92, or 0.70 percent, to 839.22, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 7.92, or 0.53 percent, to 1,499.92.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 0.52, or 0.11 percent, to 452.72.

On Thursday, the Dow Jones industrial average sank 226 points, while other indicators tumbled more than 3 percent, on news that unemployment claims reached a record high and that new home sales hit a record low. This erased all of the gains from the previous day, when stocks soared on hopes that the government will take bad debt off banks’ books.

Volatility has been high this week, with the market zigzagging on a mix of earnings and economic news as investors try to determine what the rest of 2009 will bring. Unrelenting concerns about the shaky banking industry have also kept investors from buying with confidence.

A bit of good news came from Amazon.com Inc. late Thursday, which reported that its fourth-quarter profit rose 9 percent and easily surpassed analysts’ forecasts. The online retailer also provided an optimistic forecast for 2009.

Amazon shares rose $8.85, or 17.7 percent, to $58.85.

Exxon rose $1.53, or 2 percent, to $78.53.

Chevron rose 97 cents to $71.59.

Procter & Gamble fell $1.94, or 3.3 percent, to $56.28.

Bond prices rose early Friday. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 2.80 percent from 2.87 percent late Thursday. The yield on the three-month T-bill, considered one of the safest investments, rose to 0.24 percent from 0.23 percent.

The dollar was mixed against other major currencies. Gold prices rose.
