<<Also, many white collar folks (and probably others but I don't know from experience) will not file for unemployment when laid-off. It is a humbling experience and many will opt to not file until they get desperate after a couple of months of not being able to find a new job. I was at a company that went under and of the people there roughly 10% bothered to file for unemployment. >>

HAHAHAHAHA. Where I worked when the plant closed, all applied. guess it depends on the area.
