It is no secret that the United States has been undergoing a financial nightmare over the last couple of years. Corporations as well as individuals are up to their ears in debt and this has led to a massive financial crisis throughout the whole country as profit margins have dramatically dipped.

Remedial measures are being targeted as reducing costs, which unfortunately means a massive loss of jobs.

The only way to salvage this situation would be to implement extensive political reform, have spending cuts on government budgets and stimulate the growth of corporations so as to make more jobs available for the millions of unemployed Americans. This scenario is however, not likely to happen soon and therefore, it is important for everyone as an individual to try and improve the existing situation.

This country was built from scratch by entrepreneurs who saw the bigger picture and worked tirelessly to attain financial freedom. It is time that more Americans turned to self employment which guarantees job security in the very least.

One important pointer is to start a recession-proof self employment type of business, which capitalizes on people’s needs and preferences during these turbulent financial times. For example, instead of the real estate business, remodeling is more market-friendly in such an uncertain environment.

Also consultant services are in high demand as people would want someone to help them stretch their budgets to every dollar’s worth.
