However, employment is high and the city had negative migration for the past couple of years because of it.

Now if there was a major injury, there's a good chance that a court may throw out the waiver and hold us responsible, even with a waiver signed, which is why I do not want to employ anyone for work requiring ladders, granite fabrication, roof work or other high liability jobs.

Look at employment trends, jobs and job growth, migration, and other economic drivers.

No assets, no business of our own (since most of us HAVE to join other practices or go hospital-employed, in the MD world), nothing to write off.

Also, I'm sure you could find creative ways to employe somebody in the business as maybe an equity partner or on a performance/commission basis that would really help you scale your business without committing too much of your current cash flow...

Remember "the owner would like to remain if possible" is a suggestion from somebody who does not have an interest in your business.Only an idiot would bite on that one.Don't take the bait.

The employment report today was underwhelming.

By the time we get back to solid employment numbers and people are repairing their credit and building up down payments, I'm thinking it's a good bet that inflation will be in full swing, today's low fixed rates will be gone, and home prices will be shooting up again.

I am sure their wages will be somewhat sticky OR they will be out of work because their employer has to shed labor costs because their prices are somewhat sticky.There are a lot of moving parts here.
