Due to a high national rate of unemployment, many Americans find themselves forced to seek ways to support their families and maintain a reasonable standard of living. Some of the unemployed resort to traditional job-seeking methods, such as browsing through local help wanted ads or seeking temporary employment agencies.
But some enterprising individuals just
won't take joblessness lying down. By capitalizing on the same skills
formerly used to secure good paying jobs, self-employed men and women
can develop home-based businesses that have the potential to rival past
income.
