Many businesses are affected by the downturn in the housing market. Boat sales are down, and requests for help from United Way are up, according to MSNBC. In Cape Coral, Florida, jobs have been lost, salaries cut, new home permits are slowing down and the unemployment rate is up. These problems are reflected across the country. Consumer spending is down and job growth is slowing.
