Dee you're not alone in your fear. My worry is a little different from yours, however. I know there's a lake between us, but what goes on in my head is:

"Auto industry fails ----> layoffs ----> saturated job market ----> if I can't get lucky and find a job in my field, what are the chances of finding a job in a semi-skilled market to hold me over?"

Because this is how I think employers will be thinking:

"This girl is overqualified, and while we still could hire her, there's this guy over here and he got laid off from GM, he's driving four hours a day to get here, and he's got a family to feed. We're gonna hire the guy."

Not to mention all the other scary things about a possible bankruptcy that you mentioned.

Believe me, even people in Chicago are shaking in their boots about this, and we haven't even begun to feel the effects like you guys have.
