With all the news of high unemployment rates and seeing people constantly losing jobs I'm wondering what the state of employment is on this forum.

Please only vote if you have, had, or would have a job. Kids that work at McDess or get money from their parents please don't vote. Unless you should have a job.

Thanks

BTW, this is kept secret so don't be afraid to answer.

 
laid off at the end of april last year. now they're paying for me to go to school, i get a check every week, they pay for my kids daycare, and i get a check to cover gas/ wear and tear on my car. all included i'm making more being unemployed than i was working and will end up with means to hopefully a higher paying job in a little over a year.

that sounds like a sweet deal, how did you manage to get that?

 
Got fired in October...still looking for work. The economy everywhere sucks right now. Even the fast food joints around here aren't hiring. (Yes I was contemplating working at McDee's or BK, gotta make some cash somehow.)

Have an interview next Monday, maybe that will work out!

does your kid talk as much shit/flame at daycare as much as you do here?
