So, being unemployed I surfed by a Web site called IT Unemployed and found a poll on employment status. Look at these stats on persons who responded:

Working, and all is well [ 7.9% (13) ]

Working but had to take a pay/benefits/hours cut [ 5.4% (9) ]

Working but expecting to be unemployed soon [ 8.5% (14) ]

Unemployed six months or less [ 15.2% (25) ]

Unemployed more than six months but less than one year [ 19.5% (32) ]

Unemployed more than one year [ 43.2% (71) ]

Holy harddrive, Battman. I may not be alone out here. More on this topic later. (I’m not IT, just T – technical writer)
