on 12/15/2008 Another job sector is the Barter Industry. A company like mine, Merchants Barter Exchange (www.merchantsbarter.com) is ALWAYS expanding and recruiting, because our industry is recession-proof.

The other alternative is to work for yourself/ go freelance. For more about this go to: www.barterfranchise.com
