The security business here in Tulsa has been in the doldrums for a while now. Many apartment complexes that used to hire a security officer for the night hours, are now contracting for mobile patrols that drive through the complex two or three times a night. Obviously, it's not nearly as effective as having an officer there all night, but it's all they can afford.

We'd like to give all of the employees 40 hours, but the work just isn't there. I don't know how they get by on just 32 to 35 hours a week, but that's the best we can do. And these people are counted in the statistics as employed full time. It's miserable, and not improving.

Onward and upward,
