It’s a tough moment in the job market right now.

Layoffs are happening across industries, and for recent graduates just starting out, getting a foot in the door can feel harder than ever.

If you’re not out of work, you likely know someone who is — a friend, a partner or a family member. 

For a lot of us, work is tied to our sense of purpose, identity and even self-worth. So, a job loss can ripple beyond the loss of a paycheck. 

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests talk about what unemployment can do to our mental health — and how people are coping.

If you’ve ever been laid off from a job, how did you feel? And, if you’re looking for a job now, how is it going? 

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
