A collection of good (by which I mean sad and heartbreaking) responses to Derek Thompson's call for readers to respond to what it's like to be looking for work.
I have experienced this situation second-hand. Neil has been out of work for more than a year now, but he has a temp job lined up, starting next week. Tim has had inadequate part-time jobs for several years.
It's tiring. And the thing is, we are actually in a pretty good spot - the story of the guy from Louisiana at the link is really sad.
Update: here's an interesting (but also sad) site on the same topic, Down But Not Out.
