Recessionwire will chronicle these tough economic times until they end. The site is aimed at urban professionals looking for news, inspiration, advice, cultural insights, and a dose of humor. Think of it as your user’s guide to the recession.

Recessionwire was founded by Sara Clemence, Lynn Parramore and Laura Rich. Parramore is a freelancer writer who woke up in November to discover half her gigs had evaporated; Clemence and Rich were recently laid off from Condé Nast Portfolio.

Look to Recessionwire every day for perspective, work (or out-of-work) advice, spending tips, and more.
