Without help, the company warned, "the company will default in the near term, very likely precipitating a total collapse of the domestic industry and its extensive supply chain, with a ripple effect that will have severe, long-term consequences to the U.S. economy."

"You didn't call a funeral, but I know plan B is dead," said Jordaan of reports that the event might be moved to Australia.

3. The economy is not just affecting people who are already out of work; those who are worried their jobs might be in jeopardy also are experiencing sleeplessness, compromised immune systems, irritability and other precursors to depression.
