LEMON: Back with Christine Romans breaking down the top tips for surviving long-term unemployment. Christine, benefits aside, what people are really looking for in this economy are jobs. So where can people look for work?</s>ROMANS: Look. We know there are 4.6 job seekers for every available job. So it's tough. But that being said, employment attorney Robin Bonds says that if you need work, if you're out of benefits, look at temporary employment agencies. They want people immediately ready to send out on assignments. That might be a good place to look first. Look at short-term consulting gigs. She says you can doing concierge-type work, like being a handy man or a virtual assistant. This is basically becoming your own boss, hiring yourself out there, trying to drum up any kinds of jobs that you can. Holiday time means seasonal jobs. We know we've been reporting to you all of the seasonal hiring from a lot of different kinds of companies. If you want to work in a department store, be a Santa, be prepared to work holidays. That's what holiday jobs are. Retail jobs are -- some of those still available, too. Robin Bond also suggests looking at federal and state government web sites as good sources of jobs. Ironically, all of the processing of all of these jobless benefits means there may be some positions in some of the unemployment agencies and the like. So that might be a place to look -- Don.</s>LEMON: All right. Thank you very much, Christine Romans. And we're back with much, much more, including some bad weather in the country.
