What long-term unemployment benefits? You only get state unemployment benefits up to 6 months (depending on what state you live in). Maybe by moving to China and working with their fellow ex-HP employees as that’s where all the tech jobs are! The techology section is a dead business – customers don’t have the money to spend on this stuff and many are staying with their old computer and Windows XP.
