Your job situation

[AsahinaKimi]

Just curious..

[Capitalocracy]

1. Other: freelance worker

[Drale]

2. Student at the University of Illinois at Chicago

I don't have a job but I volunteer at museums all the time.

[Arctic Dave]

3. I do shift work, two weeks on and two weeks off.

I think of myself as semi-retired for the last eighteen years.

[brewens]

4. Full time and own my own business. The business is actually beginning

to make money. The sole reason for the business is to provide my girlfriend with a job. Some day I may actually see some income from it.

My full time job, I think is beyond secure. If things get tighter and our big affiliate blood service has to cut back, my area actually stands to gain from it. We are a lower cost operating area and we could be asked to ramp things up. We actually already have been asked to increase collections.

7. 2 Jobs

1 job is full time. That is for paying the bills.
The second job I enjoy. Make some extra money, so I can buy things I might not be able to afford otherwise. Some weeks I work my ass of at that job, sometimes I take a week or two off depending on how much I want to work.

15. I'm an independent contractor who has been underemployed since 2008.

Squeaking by, but I live gig to gig and don't have health insurance.

[trackfan]

16. Unemployed. n/t

[NBachers]

17. Blessed with a full-time job that I love

and I do lots of at-home, unpaid projects for my department. The company's pretty good at letting me "buy" materials at no cost and take them home for my work. It's gratifying to be at work and see all the improvements I've built. But I couldn't imagine leaving my job at the end of the day and then going to a second job. I could do side jobs, but find that I'm less good at either my main job or the side job when I do. So I keep away from them.

Besides, my current lady friend finds enough projects to keep me occupied.

long-term unemployed folks who have given up and are no longer looking for a job?

26. Freelancer, and finding the jobs harder and harder to come by

[TheFarseer]

27. employed for now

Contract situation is looking iffy and if we don't get it, we're out by early next year. Wish the government would get their shit together and tell us if we have the contract or not. Not taking this lying down though. I've been looking for something better for months and can't find anything. I've had several phone interviews and one face to face which has gotten me no where so far, but at least I have a job for now.
