The news on the jobs front hasn't been good. The U.S. economy lost about 4,000 jobs last month for the first time in four years. News of lay-offs, especially in the mortgage industry, abound, with many employers cutting jobs. Economists and financial web sites are mentioning, as one commentator put it, the "r" (recession) word, that none of us likes to hear.
If you're one of the unlucky people who has lost a job, you may be eligible to receive unemployment compensation. Here's how to find out if you're eligible for unemployment benefits, plus information on when, where and how to file for unemployment. In some states, you won't need to visit an unemployment office. You may be able to file for benefits online or over the phone.
By the way, if you are employed, it never hurts to prepare for a job search - just in case you do lose your job or you want to make a change.
