How long can I expect to be unemployed in our current economic atmosphere? This really depends on the type of job you are seeking. One popular ”rule of thumb” is to expect to search for one to two months for every $10,000 in salary.

For instance, for a $50,000 salary, you could be job hunting for approximately 5 months. In the meantime, you'll need some money coming in. That's where unemployment comes to the rescue.
