what should the common man do to ward off the effects of recession on their jobs and lives. One of the ways I think will be suitable for most people is to start their own blogs and start writing about the effects and changes the recession is bringing to their lives. The term ‘economic recession’ is a very popular search term on google now a days and has been so for a long time now. The google trends graph indicates that this trend will continue this way for a long time in future too. Hence I would suggest people with sudden and recent job loss or reduced working hours to grab this opportunity. The term has been gaining popularity in the recent past and has now reached high volumes on Google.
