This might be an expansion of Stephanie's "Get creative" tip. maybe for some a job isn't the solution, because there doesn't seem to be enough of them to go around. For those so inclined and brave enough, here's advice of a different kind from one who has made his own employment since the 1980's (starting with a painting company when my first equipment was an old and bent aluminum ladder). Job seekers are typically low on one resource- money, but high on another- time. We hear about a global economy, but it's just a concept that means little to most. That's a big mistake. Here's one example- over a billion people and growing are connected online around the world- including hundreds of millions of English-speaking people. It time for some to consider that a job is not the only way to create income anymore, and neither are you confined to Florida. If you can find a good resource (and despite the junk out there, there really are some) you can learn online skills during your down-time that would allow you to expand your income and even the value you can render to the world. It just takes starting and a willingness to see the possibilities which are already there. As far as a great resource, here's one that is rated #1 by an independent service (IM Report Card) http://leavethejobbehind.com Another idea more suited for some might be http://datajobsource.com Lastly, there is a company I learned about that is making a way for people to become full time humanitarians- and doing it from home. http://businessintobenevolence.com Hope at least one of those links helps several people. It takes initiative to build something without a boss around, but in the end, we will have goals or work for someone that does. It’s insightful to listen and learn from the other side of the desk.
