Keep in mind that the number doesnt include those who are no longer eligible for UE Insurance or have not filed.

The number is way higher!

We're looking for another alignment/suspension guy at the truck shop I work for. 

If anyone knows somebody with alignment experience (we can train them for the trucks/RVs as long as they understand the concepts).

Must have a drivers license, be insureable (hard to find) and be willing to deal with a variety of abuse.  ;D

Shop is in Redlands CA.

I got my degree in may 2008. About the same time the mortgage industry crashed. I found a job as a fixit guy and property mgr for a small property mgmt company. They "laid me off" to hire an Illegal. I turned them in and they were fined but it did not help my situation! That was April last year and i have been without since!

I've been out of work (aerospace design engineer) for way too long myself.   Things do not look good in the foreseeable future.
