    How To Spend Less Time Unemployed After Unexpected Job Loss

    Job Search / Job Transition / Working with Recruiters

    You never know when you’ll find yourself unexpectedly out of work. It’s happened to me more than once.

    I had a variety of full-time jobs while earning my BA. I’ll never forget the day I lost the job that paid all my bills, including rent. Since I was the company’s bookkeeper, I knew the business was struggling.,

    But when they gathered the staff and told us they were closing the next day, I was stunned. Each of us would receive a few days of pay.

    I quickly landed a restaurant gig, but other employees, some married with kids, weren’t so lucky.

    The average severance is 1 or 2 weeks for each year worked. If you’ve been there for 5 years that’s 5 to 10 weeks.

    In September, however, 34.5% of the unemployed had been out of work for 27 weeks or more, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation.
