OK, so I meant to post this when I first read it, but alas, the all I can think about these days is jobs, and the fact that I still don't have one. Anyway, here's another story in the New York Times about how people are dealing with the lousy job market. Apparently, according to the article, people in the older generation that are out of work don't give up as easily as us young folks.

A look at recent employment data indicates that boomers have persevered in these hard times, and are less likely to grow discouraged and quit the job hunt than younger workers are.

This is completely true because, speaking as someone in my early 20s who has been looking for jobs the past two months, I'm pretty close to picturing myself living with my parents for the rest of my life.

However, it's stories like these that remind me how hard the recession has hit other people, and that well, yes the prospect of moving back home to live with my parents terrifies me, a lot more people are experiencing more dire situations. Like this family mentioned in the story, a father laid off after 30 years and now has to support a wife and three children with no health insurance. At least I'm covered until April 30 (I think, anyway), and I have my parents to help me out until I can find something.
