Job Loss
Category: Department of Random Statistics

It appears from the bounce rates (and I can't swear to this, but it LOOKS like) about 12% of The Big Picture subscribers have, over the last six months or so, lost their jobs (or quit them - and for all their sakes, I hope it was voluntary, though I know that's not statistically possible).

First of all, of course, if you were a subscriber at your job and you want to keep getting it, feel free to sign up with your new email address. But more importantly - next week I'll be doing a special issue of The Big Picture about the non-employment epidemic in our business. Because I'm sure you're not the only one saying a little prayer as you send out an email to someone you haven't spoken with in a while, hoping there's still someone on the other end to receive it. Or appending, "If he/she is still there," to all your sentences.

An extra treat - Brian O'Leary will be offering advice in next week's issue as well!
