Directly, one good friend who lost his job, and can't find work and can't even get an interview. He was a corporate controller with a degree in accounting.

He claims to have applied everywhere around SW Michigan, including parts of Northern Indiana as well. He said he can't even get an interview even though he dropped his salary requirement from $60K+ down to mid 30's. He has had 3 interviews in 8 months.

While I do not know them personally, I have interviewed countless models (typically 75-100 contact me per week) and many of those have lost jobs, can't find work, whatever. The count I do not know, but I would say it's around 10-20% who claim that or have some hard luck story.

Others hate their jobs, but they are not unemployed or can't find work.
