Lost my job in 94 that paid 58K. Out of work for 7 months. Had to move my family from Alabama to Utah to take a job that paid 48K.

Wow, what a sacrifice.

Sacrifice? No, I was glad to get the job regardless of what it paid. Moving to Utah, now, that was a sacrifice.

My experience was relevent to this topic. Like those referenced in the article, I took a pay cut, a significant pay cut, when I lost the job. But, it was only temporary cut, and I'm doing far better now that I was before I lost the job.
