Today's news is that Texas' unemployment rate is steady at 8.1% but the Austin metro area is at 6.8%. That's not much higher than a normal economy. I see "Help Wanted" signs but a closer look shows many are part time with no benefits. Since much of my expertise is computer and tech-related, Austin is as decent a market as I can probably find. But I'm rechecking some recent contacts and tossing some hail mary passes just to see if I can transition to something I'd truly love to do, so I'm not part of the statistics yet. It won't be until I file for unemployment benefits and I don't expect to do that for awhile.

Good luck, Bob. If I hear of anything I'll be certain to let you know.

Bob, I always had good luck with the temp agencies. Don't know if there are any for your skills but I'd think that there are. Wouldn't hurt to shoot off a resume to some of them cause they are a great way to "get your foot in the door" and lead to a permanent position....
