Powerful emotions surface as packaging pros weigh in on economic uncertainty

The impact of the 2009 economy evoked strong emotions among salary survey respondents who expressed everything from despair over lost jobs to enthusiasm about new opportunities.

Given a chance to freely express their opinions on the impact of the economy on their business in 2009, packaging professionals spoke their minds in the 2010 Salary Survey conducted by the Institute of Packaging Professionals and Packaging World magazine, developed in cooperation with Gros Executive Recruiters. A report on survey results will be published in Packaging World's April 2010 issue. 

What follows are some of the most thoughtful responses, some of which were edited for clarity.
