I was laid off by Oracle 2 years ago and still can't find a job. I've blown through my savings and now sell antiques to stay afloat.

Jobless and Left to Dredge Up a Living

A stark reminder of the harsh realities of unemployment: one man's struggle to make ends meet after losing his job at Oracle two years ago.

Meet John, who's been navigating the job market with little success. His story highlights the struggles faced by millions of Americans trying to find employment in today's economy.

  • Job hunting for over a year and a half
  • Burning through savings and now living paycheck-to-paycheck
  • Pivoting to sell antiques to make ends meet, but it's not sustainable
