Husband Lost His Job Today

[@bartvanriel6767]

I got fired twice in my life and both times it turned out to be a 35% pay increase

[@philmarsh7723]

Fired or laid off. There's a BIG difference.

[@Mrs.T305]

Congratulations 🎉🎉 Praise God

[@valvend]

I was fired 2 years ago, and I was pretty scared because I am the main breadwinner & my husband is retired. Plus, I was 61years old . I looked for a job & found one in 20 days & now make 30% more & they pay my health insurance premiums. God has really blessed me.

[@Mrs.T305]

Pray God

What he says about interviewing different when you're desperate vs when you're not is SO true.

[@ASimoneau]

I'm sure Dave knows what he's talking about, but this call kinda made me laugh. Woman: "My husband lost his job..." Dave: "GREAT!!"

[@clarifyingquestions]

because it is great -he is a chemical engineer - great, they are not broke and/or desperate because they listen to Dave - great and they are in a white hot economy - great. Her sobbing is great too - sign that they will get on this pocket the severance and turn it into a signing bonus. Hence Dave's response - great. So many callers call in giggling ( nervous I suppose) and not even including car loans student loans as debt - they are not sobbing and nothing great in their story. These people will call Dave back from a city they like better with a pay increase!

[@mikenelson8377]

Remember that lady that's been a salesperson for over 20 years? She was so scared but DR wasn't worried and convinced her she could land any job she wants with her experience of communicating and SHE DID. She took a $5k/year pay cut just to prove herself. Now she's on her way to making more than she was before.

[@EmpireTextbooks]

Mike Nelson 5k a year isn’t much difference in a salary so how is that relevant

[@robroberts1473]

She was crying a little bit because she was a little scared which is totally understandable. But her husband shouldn't have a problem find a job especially if he is open to other opportunities outside of chemical eng.

[@whitemanning4324]

OMG when people explain every bit of there life. theyre not freaking out but she crying.

[@fpl_bailey]

spot on Dave he will be fine, he has severance and should be able to get another gig quite soon. Also, you own your home and have your finance under control 👏👏👏.

[@fpl_bailey]

Benny recession or no recession any great opportunity depends on your skillet and how well you interview. The point is that they are in a great position because they are financially stable based on the information given. Even if he was to just deliver pizza for the rest of his life, they still have a paid for house and doesn't seem to have much payments other than her finishing school.

[@Jemgirly]

This video makes me want to get fired? 😂😂

[@martinmi5]

She says "We're not freaking out" immediately begins to break down and cry.

[@views-ve5kb]

My husband lost his job and it took a year and a half to get another one. We can't recover. You cannot predict the furure!!@@!

[@clarifyingquestions]

Is he a chemical engineer?!!! This family has no money problems - and have an emergency fund. And they are 25 and 23 years old. He will have a job lined up the next day with a pay increase!!

[@ColinJ388]

Chem E's are in hot demand in the oilfield right now. Tell him to apply to SLB, HAL, and BHI. Ya'll will be fine.

[@Dimasstywan]

they're so young with big salary and already owns a home, you guys already lucky especially chemical engineering is a great and respectable degree right ?

[@DON351W]

hope to hear up date on this

[@JB-tr2un]

Not too surprising to hear a Chemical Engineer getting laid off. BLS predicts only 2% job growth for Chemical Engineers over 2014-2024.

[@chrisv8404]

[@helenesierminski8340]

Solid advice

[@zaidchalabi1599]

Im in same situation Today company said they are closing in 5 weeks plus 4 weeks severance Chemical engineer 100k a year Started applying today Hopefully i get something soon

[@ImprovementisGrowth]

Dave, please talk more about the hiring increase in this country.

[@bianca1599]

When did this come out? It was published late April but the timetable he talks about makes me think March?

[@EastCoastReefer]

Why is she crying? It's not like he has a History or Psycho degree. Just a tiny bump on the road for them.

[@BigRed2]

Binh Nguyen She is young and hasn’t prob ever had a bump in the road her whole, this will only make them wiser and stronger

[@kodyeldridge5847]

"we're not freaking out" *Proceeds to burst into tears*

[@ChristoherWGray]

He forgot his go to line Deliver pizzas

[@godoggo407]

I listened to your answer Dave and my husband has been out of work for one year. He has not found the job market a good time at all. I'm not what sure what year you are talking about .

[@ChrisPMuffin]

Laura Bednarski husband sounds like a bad interviewer. One year is way too long, should work on those skills.

[@BluInfinity]

Hiring left and right? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day.

[@jet4415]

And forget about people over the age of 55.

[@johntucket9221]

@Brian Waller He was talking about people with in-demand degrees. The market is still hot for them.

[@moegrizzly1]

The love of my life became epileptic 2 years ago since then I lost my job 💔 I've lost it all teo years later had to run home to many times ultimately getting let go we have 3 children and a dog lol I laugh but this is the hardest fight I've ever fought.

[@moegrizzly1]

Usually it's my fualt but in this situation idk what to do.

[@dfo254]

I just said a prayer so he should be fine

[@ChristoherWGray]

Owning a home in Iowa Strike a match Go Hawkeyes!

[@AnnMitt]

A hot economy matters

[@GaryPierce73]

No white hot economy in Central Indiana. Perhaps in Nashville/Cool Springs/Brentwood, TN and other areas, but not here. Job options in our area - fast food restaurants, Wal-Mart, Meijer, and one factory. That's it! Not much to pick from for a man trying to provide a nice life for his family. Moving to another city or state with more oppprtunities may be in our future.

[@Fear_Itself22]

Echoing the caller: Go Hawks!!!

[@calendarpage]

I'm in IC. I loved it when she said "Go Hawks!" I don't think Ramsey caught it, but I did.

[@rustyshackleford4801]

White hot economy.....not sure if srs.

[@user-lu6yg3vk9z]

Jim Rhine The economy is still bad.

[@Datnigromeo]

Filmon Tewolde According to? its not the best but definitely OK considering people are buying homes and able to see their homes.

[@knpstrr]

Economy is going strong and gaining steam, without a doubt. If tax reform goes through, it will go bananas

[@user-lu6yg3vk9z]

knpstrr Type into Google U.S. National debt.

[@Datnigromeo]

With the national debt as it stands, jobs are hiring in all sectors, people are able to buy homes, sell homes and maintain their homes. America is much better economically than it was during 2008, 2009...

[@dfo254]

capitalist wear big boots!
