Another back and forth session was ended on Wall Street with cheers of easing credit markets. But analysts still warn that market faces rough times.

With the current economic downturn, many companies are reporting job cuts, as they brace for what could be long recession. This week PepsiCo and Danaher reported they would lay off thousands of workers.  This situation may worsen as holidays approach and layoffs are common in tough times.

Governments around the world pledged billions of dollars to help economy and stabilize markets. Market may remain mixed again next week as everyone expects financial market to stabilize further. Some of this week's heavy selling came in response to disappointing economic reports.

The London interbank offered rate, or Libor, for three-month dollar loans fell to 4.41 percent from 4.50 percent on Thursday, the fifth consecutive day of declines. The three-month Treasury bill Friday yielded 0.82 percent, up from 0.47 percent on Thursday.

The new rescue plan of buying bad mortgages should slow job cuts, if it doesn't more people will loose jobs. More and more companies will be resizing their business, cutting jobs, reducing so they can turn profit for next quarter.

Consumers will be very careful of spending this year and 2009 may bring another job cuts. While credit card market is not helping banks to get back as well, banks are tightening their guidelines on mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and other financing and loan options. Consumers are defaulting on their credit cards as home values have dropped and they cannot refinance anymore.

But there could be a massive overreaction in the market, but this weak market was down 20% which credits to financial problems leading to recessions. If a financial crisis is not solved, it could weaken. President Bush on Friday said in a speech that the credit market, where many companies find funding for their operations will take a while to thaw, but that Americans should be confident that it will.

While the economic outlook darkened a survey by the National Association of Home Builders showed builders hit a record low in early October. The Commerce Department said Friday that construction of new homes and apartments dropped by a bigger-than-expected 6.3 percent in September to an annual rate of 817,000 units.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said in opinion piece in The New York Times that he sees opportunity in the Wall Street chaos. He's been moving his personal investments from safe Treasuries into U.S. stocks. "To be sure, investors are right to be wary of highly leveraged entities or businesses in weak competitive positions," Buffett wrote.

"But fears regarding the long-term prosperity of the nation's many sound companies make no sense." The market eventually will turn around. "So if you wait for the robins, spring will be over," he said.

Wages grow more slowly when there's higher unemployment, so the downturn will be affecting most working families through reduced hours of work. When people loose their jobs, they will cut back on consumption and people are less able to pay bills.

Danaher will cut 1,000 jobs and close 12 plants

Rockwell Automation will cut 600 jobs or 3 percent
