I removed myself from the labor pool middle of last year. Last month, I find out that my old company cut 40% of it's field staff.
Livin' on the federal dole ain't that bad and I can make a little extra $ on the side with no penalty. In fact, this January, I got a 5.8% pay raise thanks to all you hard working people out there.
I do feel sorry to all those getting the axe and hope things rebound soon. I need to sell a house and a boat.
