So I mentioned here that my father lost his job not too long ago (still currently out of a job) and I just learned a few minutes ago that my mother got laid off as well. I'm the only one in my family currently making any money and I'm making total crap money right now.

So yeah, things suck miserably right now.

Wow. Sucks.

I sometimes have trouble relating to numbers, as in X mio. unemployed. To me it's just seems like a number, but the social hardships and economic troubles ehind each and every one of those millions needs to be remembered. I hope you will find a way of this crisis.

You sir, are a fucking asshole.

To OP, I do wish you and your parents good luck. Recession looks like it's coming out of a slump. Give it some time, and I'm sure you'll be fine. Just look ahead.
God Bless

Yeah, you go and read things about hundreds of thousands of layoffs and you think 'wow, those are big numbers!'

then you hear things like this and realize each number is also a person.

Meh. Tough. Tbh I blame unions for making totally irrational demands for so long; I think it would be better if we employed more workers at lower wages - and I think on the whole workers would rather accept that than sacrifice large #s of their own population.

Anyway, best of luck; America will pull through.

I don't think that's it at all. Of course some unions make irrational demands, but that in and of itself is not a major problem.

Good luck OP.

That is what i assumed too haha, its "good for him" to have a job and support his family lol.
The only thing you can do is start your own business, my mom was working at Barnes and Noble and they tried to cut her hours (it was full time -- so she said fuck this, quit and started her own tutoring business. Now she charges about 40-50$/hr. and makes her own hours.

Talk to your parents and figure out jobs they can get that exploit rich people's money. Or dumb kids.

My dad got laid off again, we are very lucky that my mom decided to take up book-keeping for the business so many years ago... now she does it full-time.

Oh, I almost forgot... good luck to you and your family, there is work out there for your parents, I know with my dad there was a short period where he was too depressed/upset to seriously look for one, so I hope your parents are able to deal with the situation appropriately.
