If you believe being out of work to be irrecoverable, please take a moment to consider whether you may have been drinking too much American Dream koolaid.

I don't consider scrapping for manual labor jobs for food money (certainly not rent) to be any form of recovery.

For those who are currently unemployable (in a professional setting making a living wage), they are either prepared for this financially, or their survival is threatened.

Are you out of work? What's the longest you've been out of work, in years?
