>>>My sister started a new job today, for less than half of what she was making, when she was laid off over 6 months ago.<<<
As I read that, I just sat for several minutes - a full range of emotions fill you... I remember 83 when the company I worked for went under during that recession. That 6 months I was unemployed was very stressful (trying everything you could think of both to earn money and to find employment) - then I too got a job making less than half previous pay. I hope Mary feels this is an opportunity to grow in that new job, and that it is as successful as mine was.

It is Diana, the sister, she is hopeful, will be doing what she knows and learning a new type of insurance as well.
LOL, it will mean a long bus ride, and for her that is the pits, for she was born with a steering wheel in her hands.
Once you pass 60, finding a job in 6 months, is a wonderful result, for she tried and followed every lead.
