Employment rates are a lagging indicator. Dont look to them for insight on the economy.

Very depressing times indeed.....I'm looking for anything....freelance or full-time. Would just love to collaborate with someone on a project too. My husband, who is a brilliant network engineer, (cisco routing/switching/architecture) is looking also and having no luck.......

From everything I have seen and heard from the financial experts, it is about to get much worse than what already happened early this year. They say the bottom is gonna give out. Fun times.

been out of work for two months. just got an email back, working towards an interview. postings seem to be picking up and i can only imagine it'll continue to do so through the summer, when it's usually slim anyway.

Its going to get better. By end of this year, people will be looking to hire. And by Feb, they will actually hire.

FUCKING SUCKS!!
Being out of work for months (actually almost two years), and I can't find a thing! I might really suck or people lie to me telling me I'm good.
Whatever, either way, I'm screwed!
