Job Seekers' Support Group

I'm in the Denver  Metro area, and in many ways, I think employment market is getting worse here (Denver tends to be slower than other cities in just about everything though, ha ha.) 

I haven't seen a job to APPLY for in a couple of weeks.  It was weird because about about two months ago I was able to send out three resumes, and now, nothing.  Almost all of the job alerts I get are for very technical IT positions which are contract/temporary (and for which I am not qualified.)  A friend who works in a government office told me last night that they are going to move from one furlough day a month to two in January.  Many of my co-workers have had their hours cut so I really think it is getting worse here.

:(  I am so sorry to read your post.  It must be beyond frustrating to not have any jobs to even apply to.

It has to get better eventually though, right?  Let's hope it's soon.

A friend who has a management position in state government told me they have to take 2 weeks off without pay per year now.  They can split it up, but still it’s a cut in pay.  She has lost several staff member and not being able to replace them means everyone has to take on more work.
