We want to talk to you.  We're looking for your stories of lost jobs, lost homes, and city budget cuts. We want to talk to you if you're  slipping backwards, and if you're managing to hold on. 

The first step is giving us some basic information about you and what you're seeing. Then one of our reporters will get in touch with you to talk some more, if you say that's okay.  Share as much or as little information as you want. We will feature people's stories and experiences on the site in the coming months.

Thanks for helping us report on what's happening in America.

Share Your Offshoring Story

We're working on a series of stories about outsourcing, like Barlett and Steele's piece on the American steel industry. Have you lost a job to offshoring or outsourcing? Gotten or applied for Trade Adjustment Act assistance? We'd love to hear from you, whether your experience was last month or last decade. Share your story here.

Tell Us What's Happening to You and Your Town

Let us know how the last few years have treated you.  Are you getting by? Are you doing great? Are you barely holding on?  Share your story here.

Have you faced foreclosure?

This series of stories on foreclosure, mediation, and modifications is just the beginning. If you have faced foreclosure, sought mediation, or pursued a loan modification, let us know. We'll follow up with you to learn more about what you've been through. We'd love to hear from you, whether your experience was last month or last decade.  Share your story here.
