Sadly, today, I got an email from one unemployed friend (been out of work for close to a year) forwarding the news that a mutual friend who works in biotech is going to be hitting the pavement again. She’s been unfortunate enough to be laid off twice already – each time the company closes shop soon after she hires on. Hubby’s been working full time the past month – but is about to see his hours go to zero within a few weeks.
I have so many friends who are at risk of being laid off or have been laid off. They are ALL actively looking for work. It’s a tough job market out there.
