My unemployment (as well as the unemployment of my co-workers) is an indirect result of Caterpillar's volume dropping. They are our largest client and when they aren't hiring and moving people my [former] company is effected. Also, CAT is a global company, and their volume is not solely dependent on the state of the US economy. When demand drops off throughout the world CAT runs into issues.
I don't think anyone expected an immediate fix to the economy. It took us a long time to get to where we are, it's not going to be fixed overnight.
