Getting laid-off from your job is stressful enough, but dealing with the overburdened bureaucracy of your state unemployment agency can be a daunting task for anyone.

There is a new resource to help those who have found themselves among the newly unemployed called The Unemployment Handbook.

In addition to information about how to file for benefits and locating your local unemployment office, there is also information about conducting a successful job search, saving and budgeting, and a blog and discussion forum.

I you have recently lost your job, or know someone who has, you’ll find the site to be a helpful resource.
