Abstract:
With the downturn of the United States economy in 2008, millions of Americans lost their jobs. The number of unemployed, the foreclosure rate, the bankruptcy rate, and the poverty rates are all at their highest levels since the 1960s or earlier. The TV news and the internet news sites all report on this tragedy statistically – but do a poor job of reporting on the real cost of unemployment. Unemployment can cost a person their self confidence, health, possessions, credit rating, and even their marriage and/or family relationships. This book provides some real-life experience and advice for dealing with unemployment.
