Banzhof Ray, 57, was incomparable to the front of the Great Recession.
He was dismissed from his job of 23 years as a manufacturing company to handle at TRW Automotive U.S. LLC, a company in Auburn that manufactures electronic parts for cars, August 26, 2008. Seven people were laid off that day, including Banzhof and his boss.
"He came really suddenly," he said.
Gas prices hit all the peaks continuously about $ 4.25 a gallon the previous month, car sales have dropped and the car companies who are clients of the work has stopped ordering parts.
Banzhof completed 13 months without a job before obtaining a full-age in September as a laborer in the vineyards at Chateau Lafayette Reneau. He traded in his cab and $ 70,000 per year for a check-mark the range of open spaces and $ 12,000 to $ 13,000 per year.
He is a jack of all, the harvest in the dispute, replacing posts and trimming vines in winter.
Banzhof said he considers his new job as a movement calling die taking jobs in factories in cellars, which are lush in the Finger Lakes.
