3 months+ and still no job

Well, here we are 3 months and 2 weeks since I was laid off from my job. The job market in this area is horrible. I've put in approximately 30 applications and still no luck in landing anything. My unemployment compensation will run out in about 2 1/2 months. I have no idea what we will do then. One of my sons has a part-time job and has been looking for full time, the other is still looking also. Then the news comes today that the BMW plant here will be laying off over 700 contract workers in December. I don't know what will become of us. I just wish I could see some light at the end of the tunnel..that wasn't a train!
