There doesn't seem to be anything available.
One man I know (in his 50s and been out of work for 2 years) applied at a fast food place and they wouldn't hire him either. Said he wouldn't fit in with the teenagers. (It's not the fast food you're probably thinking of).

Are there jobs where you are?
It is much the same here too, especially if you are over 45 yrs. It must be a huge worry especially if they are still paying mortgages(loans for their houses) and perhaps still have a young family at home. I am retired and thankfully my children are okay just now. I feel for any of you who are in this situation.
