I have been unemployed since November and still looking for a job. I have been called back on so many "second interviews" I've lost count. I am told by employers that they are "still interviewing" which means there are so many people out there looking it's an "employers market". An employer can pick and choose and get the most qualified person for the job. I really feel we are in a depression as I don't think the numbers really reflect all the people like myself who are looking. A lot of people have stopped looking. I just went to a networking group and there were over 150 people without jobs. It is so depressing and I don't think I have ever seen it this bad. It seems like everyone is on a freeze and nobody is hiring. The jobs that are available are low-paying and with gas prices as they are, you can't afford to drive very far. I am too young to remember the Great Depression but I do remember my parents talking about what a difficult time it was for everyone. I would like to see more decent jobs being created or some type of stimulus for job creation.
