What to feel the first time the next generation gets laid off....

My nephew just got a one week notice that he was laid off from a part time position.


I remember it well, my first lay off. It was a grocery chain, and being, I felt,the first person in the family to be humiliated by the experience, I went to the refrigerator and got a can of Miller light out and moodily drank it.
In this economy, my nephew was indeed lucky to have the position as long as he did. The question is;how do you encourage him that there are more out there with the situation looking so desperate? Hopefully, we'll have a few folks in our corner rooting for him...
