Rainy days like today don't just make for a gloomy weather forecast... they can also mean a gloomy financial outlook for businesses in these tough economic times.

It's not ideal weather for any business operated outdoors.

Jobs like construction work and car washes see a decrease in activity as a result.

They are often forced to give employees the day off to make up for the decrease in customers.

Tony Hampton, Assistant Manager for Super-Suds says, "We've got about 40 employees working here and you know they work 40 hours a week usually but get cut back to 15-20 when it rains."

Business like car washes have policies to help customers on rainy days to re-doing a washes affected by rain.
