Anyone else out there laid off right now?

If so, where do you live and what happened? I've been laid off for almost 14 weeks (I'm 49 and have worked since I was 14)...we are in a large town and companites seem to be laying off left and right. I applied for a job at the school board here and 254 people applied -- they said last year at this time they were lucky to have 5 applicants.....anyone else out there in the same situation? I get unemployment but it's about to run out.

I use to get lay off all the time I use to work any where there is a shut down is going on and when the job is done I will be done also.

I have my own business, but it is a nightmare right now. People don't have the extra cash to spend to hire a individual like me...It is a awful spiraling crash, and I don't have unemployment. I am still getting by, but damn it is hard out there right now. I feel for you.
You applied for a school board position? Ok..well you may want to relocate to GA because we are in need..just put out a resume and see what happens...We are really low in that dept.


hip lady wants YA fixed
i know that there are a lot of people laid off. the rich send work over seas need to realize that they are making the other countries richer and the good old U.S.A. poorer.
