I’ve been out of work for seven weeks with no relief in sight. But I’ve been watching my industry laying off tens of thousands of people for months. I’m not surprised in the least to find myself in this situation. Meanwhile, I’ve also seen unions winning big for the last couple of years.

I’m personally doing poorly, but overall things are looking up and my turn will come around again before long. I just have to wait for things to return to normal after a bubble pop.
