Recession Resources: Other Sites We Like

The economic downturn has lead to a growing number of blogs and websites dedicated to covering the recession in one form or another. We have decided to share with you, in no particular order, our favorite ten recession related resources. (other than our own of course)

Stuff Unemployed People Like

This blog is intended to bring some humor into the lives of those affected by the current economic situation, mostly by poking fun at them. A very funny blog that reminds us not to take things too seriously.

Odd Job Nation

Odd Job Nation is a great resource for finding some part-time, temporary and possibly rather peculiar jobs. Most job postings are linked from craigslist but in a format that is much easier to search through.

LayOff MoveOn

A nicely designed site connecting people with tips to survive and thrive in this economy. We like this site because it encourages people to give and receive support from each other, creating a sense of unity during these tough times

Recession Wire

Provides readers with a daily recession news briefing as well as recession advice and cultural analysis. Has a great section called Laid Off 101 which provides excellent tips and information on how to cope with getting laid off and how to get back to work.

The Recessionista

The Recessionista provides information on ways to stay stylish at affordable prices by keeping you up to date with the latest deals and bargains in the fashion world. A must read for any fashion lover.

Broke-Ass Gourmet

Just because you're low on cash, doesn't mean you can't eat well. Broke-Ass Gourmet teach us plenty of recipes for gourmet type dinners that are surprisingly cheap to make .

The Good News Economist

You can find economic news at pretty much any news website, however, the majority tends to be doom and gloom stories that make us feel down and pessimistic about the state of the economy. The big difference with Mast Economy is that they focus on the positive economic stories that are too often largely ignored by mainstream media.

The Recess Ends

Two brothers are going around the country filming a documentary about our current economic state. They aim to visit the most impoverished cities in the nation, interviewing the locals and reporting on the affects of the recession. The website follows their progress on this exciting journey.

Unemploymentality

Both interesting and amusing. According to the website, the unemploymentality is a transformative state of mind that is the result of a sudden loss of job. The purpose of the site is to report and document the growth of the unemploymentallity, case-by-case, as it spreads across the globe in all its glory.

Think Recovery

Think Recovery aim to promote recovery in the economy through grassroots efforts. By engaging people from all communities and by using the power of positive thinking they hope to encourage the return to economic prosperity.
