Southeast Asia is also starting to get hit by the economy down fall all over the country. The people of Southeast Asia are losing jobs all over. Factories are starting to cut their workers and overtime and even shutting down. They say that construction workers and waiters in fancy restaurants and losing jobs as well hotel workers. All of these people that are losing their jobs are having to go back out into the country with all of the extended families. They said that this is the first time in decades that families and all of the extended family is living under one roof. Since they are getting laid off in their jobs from the cities they are having to move back to the farm land and live of their own earnings and growing they create. Their country also does not have a good unemployment program, some places will pay them 200 dollars for six months and then they are on their own. Since the economy is just going to get worse there is not a good chance they will not find another good job within that time so they are stuck going back into the country living with extended family.
All countries are desperately suffering in some kind of economy downfall. The United States is not the only country. There has to be some change in our would or our world is going to go into a huge depression or ever worse. Some countries are already discussing between other countries free trade and backing up each other if a war or something like that would happen in that time they are doing the free trade. Yes free trade will help right now but will later on hurt the economy even worse.
