I'm wondering if anyone here falls in that category who might chat with me for a story -- about the roadblocks you've run into, and what challenges are out there for finding work?
Feel free to comment or send me a private message, or email me: joel.dryden@cbc.ca

What kind of variances are you interested in?
For instance I know of people who were laid off with severance, once severance ran out collected EI but were out of work for significant periods of time, but not really in bad spots.
Or people who collected CERB then EI and have been off work for a prolonged period?
Or are you looking for the people whose employment ended and simply havent been able to find work and re-enter the workforce?
