Unemployment has been a huge problem around the nation, but there's one profession that's actually been benefiting from the recession. A report in the Arizona Republic last month found that psychics have been weathering the downturn quite well. But it's not because their clients are asking the age-old questions of whether they'll find true love; they want to know when the recession will end, and whether they should sell their house.
"I'm seeing many more people that are in real crisis situations," said one astrologer. "They're coming to me with questions about whether they're going to be fired, and with more general questions about when the economy is going to improve. Even my wealthy clients are desperate."
It's certainly difficult for even those of us who work at this full-time to divine what's going to happen next with the economy, but that doesn't mean it's time to throw up your hands and turn to a psychic. We can provide you with a little better forecasting than someone with a crystal ball and a pack of tarot cards. But it's nice to see one sector of the economy thriving.
