So there you were… you were gainfully employed and life was good!
Then all of a sudden… BAM! The news that you have been dreading… all of a sudden your life has drastically changed. You became one of the millions of Americans who are unemployed. Although you are not alone in being unemployed, your particular situation is individual to you and your family.

P – Plan for the Jou
eyrnL – Launch into Action
A – Adjust as you gor
N – Network with those who know
