I keep hearing that the economy is doing well and that unemployment rates aren’t high. Yet I see posts where people are talking about how tough the job market is and how so many people are being laid off. Am I only noticing the later because I’m in the same boat? What’s the reality?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
