Title: Your employment status?
Post by: candyterrius on October 18, 2009, 07:02:55 pm: Everyone has been affected by this poor economy. Is there anyone who have been laid off and still searching for work?
I am still lucky to be employed even though like many, my hours have been reduced to a part-timer.
How is everybody surviving right now?

Post by: nannan760 on October 19, 2009, 05:41:19 am: Laid off for 18 months. Jobs are few and far between. Apply for everything, but when you get older no one is interested in hiring you. Bankruptcy will probably be my only option!!

Post by: sdotk on October 19, 2009, 06:48:22 am: I recently left my job at chase bank. I didnt have a choice, I hired in at 32hrs per week. I was able to afford a babysitter. Then they cut me to just 20 hrs a week. I was very unhappy there and my babysitter was making more than I was >:(. So I left and now watch my baby and got a part time job working night when my wife gets home. All in all its working better than when I was working for chase. I look at FusionCash as my extra spending money. ;D

Title: Re: Your employment status?
Post by: samrhett2 on October 19, 2009, 04:13:37 pm: Wow! I really feel bad for everyone looking for work. I know that the unemployment rate in SC (my state) just went down to 11.5%. You would think that was good news until I read that the reason it dropped was because people were disappearing off of the unemployment rolls because their benefits have run out and many people have simply stopped looking, therefore the numbers appear to be going down.

Try to get creative guys. Get online. There really are ways to make extra money while you are looking for something else. Just don't spend any of your own money to do it.

Post by: AndtheCon on October 21, 2009, 12:09:35 am: same here...it's tiring not being able to find a job when you keep looking for one. it's even harder since everyone wants a lot of experience for the position.
