		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday I paid a late night visit to Mel’s Drive-In, a 50s-inspired diner chain here in San Francisco (and Los Angeles). As I tucked into my bowl of chili, I was accosted with yet another ugly side effect of this economy-in-shambles: recession advertising. On the table, a placard displayed the restaurant’s  “Bailout Special." We've talked on this blog about pimping our dogs, our bodies and our souls, but it seems America wants to pimp the recession.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am writing to you from Michigan, commonly a land of dubious distinctions (high murder rates, high obesity rates, birthplace and home of Kid Rock), and currently the state with the highest unemployment rate in the nation.  I would like to share, or rather foist upon you, this rant about my circumstances and job search.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pensacola is a terrible place. It is absolutely horrid. I thought being a poor grad student in Pensacola was bad enough, but after being miserable with my choice of program, I decided not to return to school and it’s even worse for the unemployed.  Since December I have sat on my ass in my apartment searching monster, career builder, craigslist over and over again. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is everyone OK with taxpayers floating the lion’s share of a $150 million party for the presidential inauguration when our economy is hemorrhaging jobs and the banking industry is in shambles?  Despite the general excitement over this historical change in administration, shouldn’t Obama use this as an opportunity to prove to the people that “Yes we can” is about everyone doing their part to be fiscally responsible, including executive management?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am delighted to report that I finally got my first unemployment check. After two months of EDD hell, I can finally cash in. This is the hardest$450 I&#8217;ve ever earned!  Many people have asked me what I was doing wrong on the forms. It&#8217;s kind of embarrassing, but I somehow overlooked (twice) that there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It all started out so innocently, so…effortlessly. I opened my claim online in less than an hour. Within days, I received my first worksheet (in case you are lucky enough to still have a job, this is a form you have to fill out every two weeks before getting your check). I happily ticked the boxes and sent it back....But shortly afterwards, the cracks began to show.]]></description>
