Well, and we're obviously feeling it more in Michigan since our unemployment is 4% higher than the rest of the country. Last month it was 12% and the cuts are nowhere near done yet. When 1 out of 8 people have lost their jobs, you know an awful lot of people who are out.
PM_Mama: It's the old issue of being overqualified for the jobs that you're applying for. They know that you'd be gone as soon as you got something better. What was your major?
One thing I'm finding humorous is the personal ads. I keep seeing ads for men in the mid-40's where the profession says "Retired from GM". Ummm, you may have taken a voluntary buyout, but do you really think you're never working again? You're unemployed dudes, totally unemployed.
