The Times is planning a series of stories during Labor Day weekend on how we work in Northeast Georgia.

To help with our coverage, we'd like input from our readers. How has your work status changed in the last year? Have you been laid off or changed what do you for a living? Are you holding down extra jobs? What are you doing to pick up a few extra dollars in tough times? Are recent graduates finding it tough to land a job in today's labor market?

Drop us a line at news@gainesvilletimes.com (with "work" in the subject line) or send to Work, Times Newsroom, P.O. Box 838, Gainesville, GA 30503. Please include your name, hometown and a phone number.
