"The people who've been dumped are mostly guys who are well into their forties. If they don't catch on somewhere right away, they are finished. Hardly anyone in his forties who has been unemployed for over six months will ever get a real job again."

Hogwash! I was "dumped" in 1994 at the age of 48. I was unemployed for over seven months. I took a job 2000 miles away at 75 percent the pay. I've been propmoted twice and I'm making fifty percent more now than I was before I was "dumped". BTW, I also moved back to the area where I lived before too.

That was 1994. This is now. You might have a different experience now.
