Holy cow, Goob, is that for real? Whats your source?

Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics
Horizontal axis shows months. Vertical axis shows the ratio of that month’s nonfarm payrolls to the nonfarm payrolls at the start of recession. Note: Because employment is a lagging indicator, the dates for these employment trends are not exactly synchronized with National Bureau of Economic Research.

Jesus freaking hell -- and thanks, Goob. I guess it makes me feel prety damn lucky for the freelance work I DO have.

Some of the networking I've been doing based on freelance work may ultimately put me in a better position than if I had been continuously employed for the past year. Time will tell....

I have just set up my first job interview in over 10 months, for Monday morning.  Wish me luck, people.

Good luck to you. 10 months, that's barbaric.

Good luck, Maxie!

Good luck!

I know someone who has been unemployed since LAST November and has only had one interview for a job which decided not to hire anyone. Can we send him some good karma?

Good luck for Monday, Max, and two tons of karma sent to RX's friend!

[MaxBigfoot]

Thanks for all the good luck wishes, everyone.  RX, my best wishes for your friend, too.
But I've actually been unemployed over a year now, I got laid off February 19, 2009.  It's only been 10 months since my last interview.  I had a few in the first couple of months of my unemployment, then everything dried right up.

Okay, I did the first interview on Monday, it seemed to go well.  I did a second interview this morning, with the Warehouse Manager, it went good too.  I should find out no later than Monday whether I got the job.
