Slapped by the recession

The recession has definately slapped me in the faced at an unpaid internship.....( I witnessed first hand, how people came in for a normal day of work not realizing it was their last. Including myself.) But is does not stop there..... employees of the former VIBE magazine have to deal with their loss on a totally different level than me.(the lil intern). However, im aware of how the recession is really catching alot of people off guard and i am interested in learning and hearing about how alot of ex-employees are dealing with their fight with the recession.
