For what duration have you been jobless?

Had a business for some time. It’s a bad year. It seems to me that clients are underfunded and that their small businesses aren’t profitable.

For what duration have you all been unemployed? cannot decide when to give up.

I believe that post-COVID inflation has ruined the United States. To keep up, some are working two or three jobs.

I’ve been unemployed or underemployed for a while. I worked as a computer programmer in C++/C# from 2000 to 2009 and again from 2012 to 2014. After my wife left, I drove for Lyft and Uber until I had to sell my car, then delivered pizza for about a year. Last year, I briefly repaired cell phones for ten dollars an hour. Mainly, I’ve noticed how people tend to avoid those who are struggling, even if they were close before. It makes things more awkward.

I have been jobless for quite some time.
