I work for one. We make paper products (toilet paper, tissues, napkins, paper towels, diapers). The majority of our business is making private label products and that market is booming right now because people are saving money by buying private label products instead of the brand names.
I work in transportation planning and Kurt is right about the shipping business being slower than ever. I do business with about a dozen trucking companies and some of them are still in business right now because we are shipping so much product. Some of the other companies they ship for are shipping less than half of what they were two years ago. We are shipping about 40% more then we were two years ago. | | Back to top | |

| There's two things people have to do every day: eating is one....
Using toilet paper is the other. | | Back to top | |

| I agree that people want and will buy the cheaper product, sadly this product comes from a country that will one day own us lock stack and barrel. We must prepare and warn others so that they will survive what is to come.
A true survivalist does not come from what you have, rather it is a frame of mind for the situations that demand it. | | Back to top | |

| I thought the same thing, but good for you and the company you work for. Thank god something is still made here.

| I just see so much of the products are made in China you have to dig to find the stuff made in USA.

 FreedomRules07 Sep : 09:15Hi Kurt! Recently visited the city of Allentown, PA. If you ever wanted proof of how bad the economy is, go walk down Hamilton Blvd. Empty commerical stores & a Rite Aid with large signs posted on the front door and windows read "We now accept EBT's".

Rickster16 Aug : 10:01Ooooh 1 more thing, if you go to the store on theyre site and order Photovoltaics design and installation book for 60.00 and read it first it will help. That is also the reference/ text book for 101 and if you take the course the price is deducted from tuition....
Rickster16 Aug : 09:58I took PV101 and yes they have a list of job links and places and give you some help. PV101 is required before taking any other courses, my next will be PV 203. It should be pretty well layed out in theyre site. If you dont have some basic electrical knowledge I would reccomend learning some before starting the course. Hope this helps...toodles
TommyTurkey15 Aug : 00:51What course did you take from them? And do they help you get into the field or do they leave that up to you?
