Either they get a job or they get on welfare handouts.
Don't expect anything to get better for a long long time -- with 2 million people being given work visas, there's going to be a whole lot of competition out there for work.
People should be looking for work while on unemployment. You're not supposed to wait until you exhaust benefits to start looking for work.
What Do the Jobless do when Unemployment Runs Out?
The question seems to beg an answer from someone whose UE benefits have actually run-out, but, for whatever reason, the only folks on this and similar forums ... are still waiting for their benefits to run-out ... or only speculating about what will happen when UE runs-out!
Why is that?? --- Is the reality that they simply continue to draw benefits from other sources? ... or find jobs? ... or do they all go to live under bridges? ... or does life somehow just 'continue on?'
CAN anyone who has actually experienced this provide an answer? ...
I did and since my husband isn't on this forum it's the only answer you'll get from this family. As a 1099 employee for the last 7 years I have not been eligible for UE and what benefits he had (less than $200/wk) ended in April. Sorry, you can't control who posts in a thread!

True. Some advisers have mentioned in publications to "do nothing the first month to grieve." This is wrong esp in today's market. The longer one is out of work the gap grows. Charging back into the game is usually best when still fresh and motivated, Despite the loss of a job usually being a huge blow. Success is the best revenge and in some cases the change is welcome if the individual is not happy where they are. many are not, but tolerate it as they have regular income. Some wind up better then before even.
To the OP with the 1099 situation, I hope you bounce back soon. The market is certainly tough still these days. Keep moving forward.

When you first lose your job it takes a month to get of the initial shock. Most people are not seeking employment as soon as they are laid off because they are trying to get their mind right
The economy will worsen in California in 2013 if Tiers 1-4 federal extensions are abruptly stopped in december 2012. EDD states we are at 10.7% UE which is awful --- that does not count the 900,000+ folks living here who have exhausted all benefits. Not sure what direction this country is headed.

Definitely agree with your comment. After working 40 years post 2008 -- it took me months to recover and adjust.

Yeah because you haven't really accepted that your time is done at that place. Especially if you enjoyed working there. Now if you hated the job it could be a blessing to some but I never worked everyday at a job that I hated

If you still have health benefits I would recommend seeking counseling and asking your primary doc for anti depressants. Generic Prozac is $4 for a 30 day supply. A prospective employer won't give a rats a@@ that you needed a month to 'get over the shock '
Learn a skill. People that can work with their hands will be able to survive. Our society has changed. People will no longer be given a pay check for forwarding jokes by email all day in a cubicle.

Most employer sponsored health insurance expires the day of the layoff and UEC doesn't pay enough to afford to continue COBRA coverage.
Losing your job changes your life and it does take some time to get over the shock.
