What percentage of your colleagues in the industry have found themselves out of a job in the last year? What about the last six months? I’d say about 15% to 20% of everyone I know is unexpectedly out of work and looking for a job. I’m referring people when and where I can, but it seems like there are fewer and fewer jobs out there, and that’s weighing on me.

My circle, both professionally and personally have remained employed. EXCEPT for the federal workers I know. That being said, I live in DC so that’s a large swath of people. It’s unfortunate and weighing on me as well. Just another stressor
