The National Unemployment Rate for March was 8.5%

With the unemployment rate continuing to rise dramatically in recent months (now up to double digits in some states) a recent Salary.com survey asked its users how they have been affected by the recent changes in the job market.

Impact on Everyone

91% of the people surveyed know someone personally who has been laid off in the last 6 months. Only 9% of those surveyed did not know anyone who had been affected by a layoff. These numbers indicate that almost everyone has been affected either indirectly or directly by the current downturn in the job market.
