I don't know if i'm the only one on this, but I think it is irresponsible for any boss to dismiss an employee as soon as things get tight. That's a decision that has to be made prior to an actual hire. More importantly it's a responsibility.
If i was you, I'd go and try to snag all the buisiness you can from them, remember you made them more money than they paid you. Period.

same thing happened to me back in the UK coupld yearsa go - we relied heavily on one company for a lot of work and they ended up owing us over 400,000 pounds...which they we're fighting legally for some reason - so the whoel creative person got laid off...except the 18 year old right out of uni that I had hired 2 weeks earlier
LMFAO!!

Thanks for the responses...
1) Honda, thanks, but I actually lived in the states for many many years and I really like living here. I'd only go back to the states as a last resort...
2) When I lived in the states, I actually got downsized (this is the second time) and decided to freelance. It was very hard at first and I couldn't make ends meet... I'm a terrible salesperson and not one of those people who "knows lots of peeps" so it was tough... Slowly I started building it up and did pretty well, however, I'm not sure if I want to go through the same hell again... Freelance was sweet when there was work, but when it wasn't steady enough it was hell. As an employee I at least knew that rain or shine, there was always a paycheck coming (well... except now... :P)
I have 3 promising interviews lined up for next week, so we'll see how it goes...:) keeping chin up...
