Just curious how many others here are unemployed?

I was let go last January but drove a cab in Dallas up till August. Sure am glad it's just me to support besides child support...it's almost like a cheap vacation. I gotta admit it is less stress than the dang cab for sure...truckin too!

I'm a "temporary employee" right now. I'll probably be joining your ranks again around January.

I've been unemployed since May of 08. I've done side jobs and whatnot, but nothing permanent, nothing steady.

since 03/09 after 12 years of industrial work. Iam glad I dont have to be there in the mess but wish I did have somewhere to draw a check from! until then, unemployment and side jobs such as carpentry and handyman work. the wifey works part time. Iam doing OK for now but uncertain in the future. Iam telling you its a obama-nation.

I knew there were a lot unemployed pretty much can't go anywhere without hearing about it...hang in there it's gonna get better. I don't like to shove religion on folks but consider yourselves prayed for and I'd appreciate the same. Kinda like cold weather having a common enemy draws folks together.
