Thankful for Employment

I look around the area we have moved to and it is really quite sad. Building that are empty and stores closing all around. The unemployment rate in California is the third largest in the nation. It makes me shutter to think we could have been a statistic, but we were very lucky.

My husband has been in his new position for 1 year and 4 months now. We have yet to level out at where we were prior to the layoff, but we are getting back on our feet. Now, if we could only sell our house in Minnesota!

My hope is that you can have hope too in gaining employment. If you are not looking outside the box then you need to break the box open and go explore. There are jobs out there. Home Depot is currently hiring back quite a few people - it may be a step up or a step down from your former employment, but it is a paycheck for now. Moving away from your comfort zone is so difficult - but if the jobs are in another state, then moving is your best option.
