I have been unemployed since December 2008 due to a lay off. I have exhausted my benefits and my extended benefits. I am 55 yrs which makes it a little more difficult to find work, I am in school finishing up my degree and I am a felon who's charges were vacated by the court. So since 12/08 I have been actively seeking work with no luck. I have always worked and have 30 yrs experience and titles under my belt. So any suggestions?
