Those people went off the unemployment rolls but many did not find work, some found part time work, others are living in cars running small fruit businesses and the like and still others are living with their families who now are being laid off. The rest mainly took jobs paying 75-50% of what their previous jobs paid with no advancement in sight. If this would have happened in 2000 or even 2001 it would be painful but not nightmarish, as it stands we already are looking at one lost decade(of course with the exception of Wall Street) and staring down the barrel of another.
