Carpet Cleaning: A Counter-cyclical Industry?

During the past few weeks, as the nation's, and much of the world's economy has been collapsing all around us, I been having to watch the value of the stocks in my SEP-IRA spiral ever downward. Yet, I have decidedly NOT been having the same experience with regard to my business. Here are the invoice totals from just some of my jobs over the last couple of weeks: $657; $326; $824; $408; $621; $1872; $402;
$775; $503; $483; $446; $468; $509; $310; $355; $278; $598; $353; and $392. Perhaps this field is actually COUNTER-CYCLICAL, as people opt to keep and maintain what they already own rather than buy new items. I've gone Google-searching for info on this subject, but haven't found anything specifically dealing with the cleaning of carpets and related items.

Mark,

What would is the percentage ratio of those invoices were between commercial and residential? Thanks

Re: Carpet Cleaning: A Counter-cyclical Industry?

Only 3 commercial jobs in there: the $1872 one, and a couple of those in the $400's.
