There are a number of people that I personally know have been affected by the downturn. My neighbors both the husband and wife lost their jobs. They go out looking for work almost daily.
My neighbor across the street took a leave of absence for a surgery, when he returned after his doctor released him, the company told him his job was reclassified from a $16+ per hour position to a minimum wage job.
In my own situation, I went from an 80,000 per year corporate IT job to nothing. I had cancer surgery, and came back from my surgery with limited duties. My employer gave me my 10 year watch in a ceremony, then took me to another room where they explained I was being released. Because I had not been fully released to work, the company fought tooth and nail to keep me from drawing unemployment.
