Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

This blog has a reader ironically named, Anonymous, with an existential remark in response to my last post.   The reader says that with his or her consulting contract recently cancelled, he or she is out of work but not included in the unemployment statistics.  Hence, I assume, the Anonymous.   It begs the classic question -- If a person loses his job and nobody notices, is he still broke?   My guess is, yes.   Somebody should call the government.  Anonymously.
