About This Blog

So you've been laid off. Or afraid you're about to lose your job. Either way, with unemployment now hovering at an alarming 7.2%, it's too easy to give in to feelings of fear and hopelessness. Whether you are single, have a family, just started your career, well into it, or want to learn something new, why not use your extra time to really think about and re-focus your goals? Pink Slipped will provide the latest unemployment news, trends, and other economic monitoring as well as advice, musings, suggestions, and fun time fillers to help you turn your layoff into an advantage.

Because let's be honest: How much did you like your old job anyway? Tell us your story by dropping Pink Slipped an e-mail:  pinkslipped@vault.com (we'll post some of them), join the conversation by leaving comments to our daily posts, or start a discussion in the forums. We want to hear from you!
