    Usually when a company has less work over a prolonged period, it’s not just going to reduce worked hours, it’s going to reduce the number of workers.

        If people think the price are going down they will wait more before buying anything not essential and a lot of our economy is not essential. Deflation is not only going to touch what you buy, it’s also going to touch what you or your company sells, reducing revenues.
