Hopefully there is a silver lining in the cloud. Hopefully by being laid off, it gives some people the incentive to actually follow their dreams or ambitions and work to find a more fulfilling job, not just settling in a comfortable job.
I haven't been laid off from my current day job (thank goodness!), but I did get laid off from a good paying job during the start of the dot com collapse in 2001. It's been a struggle to get back up to that financial level again. But between the day job and the freelance projects on the side, I'm sure I'll eventually get back to that level.
Yeah, I don't think that we've hit rock-bottom yet either. I am proud of those workers at the sit-in at thier factory.
I've applied for even low wage jobs and have been told that there are so many out of work, over-qualified people all applying for the same low-wage positions.
Still, others have purposely "downgraded" their resumes in order to get into jobs where they take a 25-50% cut in pay.
