Because we’re ALL Jobless in Chicago

As many of you have seen on Twitter lately, I’ve been promoting my wife’s new social network Jobless In Chicago. She was one of the many people who were let go from their jobs as the economy has continued it’s steady nosedive. With signs looking like things will be getting worse before they get better, she decided to create a Ning for people to support each other and their efforts to find new employment. I personally know at least 8 or 9 people that have been let go recently and many many more that are in fear of it.

When times get rough, it’s important for people to band together. We’ve all been jobless at one time or another, we’re all hurting from the economy right now, and many of us have family members and friends that have been greatly impacted by layoffs. So Jobless In Chicago is a site for people to share ideas for finding new jobs, support for people that are struggling, and suggestions for new ways to get back on the right track.

You don’t need to be jobless or live in Chicago to participate. Show your support ’employmently challenged’ people who are banding together. Stop by the Ning and join today!
