    As for me, I got laid off a few weeks back.
    Now, I am back doing what I have always done, but now full time. Posting Ads on Craigslist and passing out business cards to get business , Organizing and Cleaning peoples clutter..hauling and also helping people move. It is harder physically, but work less days and make a little less money.

    been laid off from a factory, assembling spring coils that connect cabins to arctic trucks.
    factory forced into close because suppliers realised they could get the work out for much cheaper in a foreign country..
    typical fucking britain - our country gets flooded with work-hungry immigrants, and my job fucks off to Hungary!!!

    Employed fulltime doing contract work generally, but we are all being laid off temporarily for three weeks this season. So I have applied for EI (employment insurance.....rather, unemployment benefits). So Im covered.

    I'm in the UK

    For the foreseable future, yes.
    If the company I work for stays in business another 50 years - the only reason I'd lose my job is through a dereliction of duty or I quit.

    I am employed.
    I teach martial arts, and I work at a gym (only front desk right now). I will be a certified personal trainer soon though. I'm also going to school for a paralegal.
