A timely message of hope and encouragement. HELP for the LAID OFF helps the reader to accept the unacceptable. This book shows how to find sanity in a jobless reality and how to make it your job to find a job. It will also show the reader how to avoid falling into the classic pity party after a layoff.

Drawing from two personal layoff experiences, Mary Aucoin Kaarto covers subjects like money matters, lessons to be learned during a layoff, and the fruitful blessings that may come. Family members and friends will learn how to respond to their loved one during this time of need. A reality-based challenge is offered that, if followed, may be a beneficial, life-changing, experience to the person who accepted the challenge and the one who needs help.

As of April 2009, 8.5% of the work-age adults in the United States are unemployed. This number is predicted to rise to 10% by January 1, 2010.
The economy and layoffs are main subjects in the nightly news, newspapers, and radio.

"A consummate optimist, Mary turned what some may consider a discouraging circumstance, into an opportunity—an opportunity to offer sound advice to others in the same situation. She offers concerned encouragement to those looking for employment and to their families and takes the opportunity to share her faith in Jesus Christ." (Keith Carmichael, Associate Pastor, Second Baptist Church, Houston)
