Glad to hear you found a job. DH was laid off week before 9/11(actually company went out of business) and was out of work for 7 months. He finally found a job that paid less than 1/2 of his base salary, but had to take it because unemployment was running out. He is still looking for a job that pays him what he used to be worth. It is a tough economy out there and jobs are scarce. Glad you made it through.
