I don't know what industry you were in but from my experience after I was "downsized" I have not been able to come even close to what I was making in a "job. However, now that I started my own business, I am getting closer. \n\nI started my own cleaning service and things are looking good. It's easy to start and you can too. A job is just a job. The owner is the one that keeps most of the profits.\n\nIf you would like to work part time and make some really good cash, you owe it to yourself to at least check this out. If you don't, what will you be leaving unanswered?\n\nTo your success.

Depends upon your coverage; typically about 60% of your average wages

I paid 70.00 in 1980, you can go from there

Generally it's 66% of your current wages paid bi-weekly. Of course with an attorney, they may be able to get a settlement for you.

Yes.  Check with your caseworker.  You can make a limited amount, but not much.  After all, if you could earn enough to support yourself, you're not disabled.

IF you are a direct hire it should be > =70K till 140K (based on area and expertise) \nBut if you are thru a consulting firm expect 70 percent or less of waht is quoted

You need to choose a custodian for your IRA, and request the employer to have the lump sum transferred to that custodian.  This will take some planning, filling out forms, etc. Check with HR, and of course with other recent retirees.\n\nIf you plan to retire 2 years or so in the future, just file the info away for future reference.  But a layoff could hit sooner, so it's good to be prepared!

Hey, if it says somewhere in writing that you were supposed to get a raise on such and so date, then yes!  Most deffinitely.    No company want to be charged with discrimination and that's what will happen if you don't get your back-pay.  Contact the better business bureua.  Also visit www.DOL.gov\nThis is the department of labor's website.  GOOD LUCK and Congratualtions on your Promotion.

Your caseworker at Department of Social Services should be able to answer that.  If they are as bad at returning phone calls as they are in my state, their web site might have the income standards.  Also, a non-profit supportive job/training organization would know, and their services might be helpful if it has been awhile since you worked.  In my state it is REALLY LOW, like $300+ if you are not on disability.  If you are on disability, it is determined by what type of benefit you get as to what the income standards are (and that is federal, so I could answer that for you).

research web sites that track the salaries of various types of positions.  They will tell you what type of skills that person should have.  If you have all of those then you should be confident that you should be able to demand that much.\nIf your salary is well under the average then your employer will not want to match the median price and you will have to get a job elsewhere in order to get the price your looking for.

45K is a good starting salary for many occupations.  The cost of living for your area is really a factor, as well as the skills that you have.\n\nA better question might be "What is the average starting salary in my geographic area, in my field of expertise".  Not knowing your geographic area, or expertise, all we can comment on is the number.\n\nThe number 45K is high for a lot of college graduates across the country.  I know of many who start in the 20's, who don't have good grades or applicable skills.  On the other hand, if you are graduating from Medical School, and setting up practice in California, then perhaps you should be looking for 100K+!\n\nCheck with your school, to see what the average starting salaries were last year.  Most colleges track this information.  It helps employers and employees!

nope. banks might lend ya up to that much, but you're better off keeping the ratio around 25-30% if possible. one bad run of luck with your job, and you lose everything....

I'm from California so it maybe a bit different.  I got laid off a few months ago and I claimed unemployment.  Just go to your Government website (www.MI.gov) and fill out the claim. You should be good to go.  Good Luck

Severance pay is what you get after you're laid off from a job.  Some severance pay are short, while others are longer.  From what I've seen (I have friends who changed companies and got laid off from the dot.com boom, myself included) it will depend on the company and how generous they want to be.  It is also usually tied to your weekly pay rate (salaried positions are converted to weekly pay rates).\n\n- Some will give a flat two week severance pay no matter how long you've worked there.  So your pay will be how much you would make if you worked there for two more weeks.\n\n- Some will give a pro-rated severance pay depending on how long you've worked there.  The longer you have worked at the company, the more severance pay you get.  For example, a company may give you two weeks of severence for every year you've worked for them.  If you were there for 3 years, you'd get 6 weeks of severance at your usual rate.\n\n- Of course executives are the exception.  They are usually paid insane amounts to be laid off even if they are being fired.  Executive severances are usually within the hundred thousands to millions range.
