Any long term unemployed people here?

[NNN0LHI]

Just wanted to see if things have changed socially for the long term unemployed since I went through it.

I can remember some friends and family back then who would invariably ask every time they seen me, "Have you gotten called back to work yet?"

Now they all knew I hadn't been, because these are the same people who would have been the first to hear if I had been recalled back to my job. And they weren't asking because they might know of a job somewhere or because they wanted to help in any way. They were just showing their concern, I guess?

Is that type of thing still going on today?

I suspect that it is.

Anyone else had this happen to them when out of work?
