We all share an expensive hobby... I'm just wondering who else is out of work at the moment?

I've been out of work since january (stupid trade union crap, don't even get me started... ok, I'm started now. stupid union types, in an attempt to impress the international office have been letting everyone into the local, BUT they've let their market share drop over 13% from 35% to 22%while almost doubling the number of people in the local. layoff times have gone from a few weeks to over 8 months. ok, I'm done now, don't get me started again)

just curious as to who else is in the same "I don't have a job" boat?

Unemployment is the best....not..

I was laid off mid summer several years back..took me 3 weeks to find a student job..jobs in my area are sparse.

It sucks so much. Good luck with finding a job. I know it can be hard.

I've been looking for 10 months for something related to my business degree, but haven't liked anything I have been offered. Instead I keep working shiftwork doing labor, but the pay is good and the hours steady. If you are prepared to move, especially somewhere remote, lots of high paying jobs in the oil patch here in Alberta.

I've been out since the end of Novemeber of last year. I'm a seasonal worker and will be going back in a month or so as soon as the frost lifts out of the ground. Unemployment definitely sucks. I'm just lucky enough to still live at home and have no bills, it must be tough for some of you guys on unemployment.

Not out of a job. But we were dumb and went and got overstaffed. So I am only getting 2-3 days a week. But far better than nothing! I hate not working and not having ANY money.

If you are 'laid off' officially, why not collect UI?

I know it works for me when I get the big Lay-Off...

Wow, the rest of the country sucks, I don't know anyone who is unemployed, the oil patch is on break up right now, but they make more than me collecting pogey!
