Unraveling Net

My friends far and wide have been wonderful in helping me look for work. They have provided me with people to call to network, which is the best way to find employment.

A friend from high school contacted me through Face Book and gave me the name of a woman at a PR firm to contact. Today I called her, but she was no longer at the firm. It appears that she was laid off.

This seems to indicate the depth of the unemployment crisis. The laid off are reaching out to the employed network, and finding out their network contacts have also joined the ranks of the unemployed.
