Have you recently lost your job?

Yes I lost my job, I was fired back in 2007, before this recession took flight, I was on medical leave from my job, at walmart that they told me to take, because they knew I had to keep, going back and forth to the doctors, because I had cancer, I had to have surgery and I had no insurance, thanks to walmart firing me, and that cancelled my insurance, so I had to apply for public assistance, I had my surgery I was even asked to come back, I told walmart NO!!

I am sorry to hear so many are loosing there jobs. People get so use to the good live and never prepare for a day like this. I am fortunatly am my own boss and get other people to make my money. I design and sell jewelry and it seem to be still working out well for me.

Thank God I've never been fired... that's why even if I wanna resign, I still think of holding on to my job because life is too hard right now. With all that is happening in the world, a lot of people are looking for alternatives in earning money.

My fiance has been laid off for almost three months now. They haven't recieved a call back date, and the company is continuing to layoff, as more business around here layoff. It isn't looking good for our small towns. The main problem is that there aren't any jobs my fiance could get that match the pay he was making before. And we can't afford for him to go less on his pay. We are just making it now. The economy is really effecting a lot of people in the area in which I am living.

I was working from home for medical reasons. It was a job that I was doing before the medical issues, except I was gratful I was able to do it from home. But, do to the recession my boss was no longer able to pay me. This was over a year ago. I live in the California where it hit first and also hit the worst.
I just want it to end. I can't take the stress of not being able to make money I need, especially because of my current limitations.

I hope this stimulus package helps too. It seems like the people who have been working the hardest and need help the most have been getting the short end of the stick. Hopefully it will change that. You should hear all the stuff they are doing in my state to get more money for the state. They need to take advice from Robinhood (take from the rich, give to the poor) Because they are doing the opposite .

Keeping busy, to keep your mind off is a good idea. I also try not to watch the news. They always like to put a scary spin to everything and I think it quitely seeps into you and causes more stress.

I truly wish you lots of luck in finding another job!!!

Yes, I lost my job last year. After I lost my job, I work at home for a part time translator. But the income is too low because of the economic cirsis. So now I would like to find a full time job relating to translation. God bless me!
