How is the recession affecting you personally?

I came across an excellent post today by Denise Gabbard of the Cleveland Unemployment Examiner. She offers the most comprehensive link love I have ever seen on the subject of coping with unemployment. If you, or anyone you know, is currently looking for a job, you MUST check out Gabbard’s 100 tips, tools, and resources-to help you survive without a job.

Reading her post got me wondering how many JobMonkey readers are currently looking for a job. So I put together this little poll to find out how the recession is affecting you personally. Please take a few seconds to answer it — and feel free to leave me a comment about your personal situation below.
