Curious how many are laid off from this board alone.

I graduated in December and I've been on several interviews and no go. Been applying everywhere lately even for jobs that don't require a degree, and internships cause I never had one of those while in school. my biggest problem is I'm trying to relocate to a specific area which is Ann Arbor, really limits the job ops. If I don't have anything by August September I'll probably be going back to school until we get out of this economic funk that we are in.

Our office budget is set until October 2010 and no lay-offs until then. But I work for the county and if the local economy does not turn around before then and we have no property tax $$$$, lay-offs could be pretty severe.

As it is right now, things are very slow in the office but we have had a hiring freeze for about two years and have not added any full-time folks to replace those who have retired or moved on so we are already cut to the bone.

They closed my department 3 weeks ago. Out of four guys in the department I'm the only one left. I was told that if I can find a job outside of our company to take it because there is only one to seven months of work for me.
I'm in New York working in a project now and I've been here for almost two weeks. By coming here I just added two weeks to my employment.

The last time the door shut on me I stood in the hallway for 18 months.
