Unemployed? How Long Until You Find That Next Job

An anonymous reader writes "If you're unemployed like me, you probably want to know how long it will last. Well, someone decided to see if they couldn't stastistically predict how long they would be unemployed by polling others - the results page is up for a variety of industries and it's interesting. Clearly the more data put in, the better the results, so while your at it, submit your own information."

    I'm looking for work doing software development, most of my experience is in Pascal/Delphi, but I'm fairly well versed at C/C++, and I also have a good amount of experience writing x86 assembly code. My interests tend to lean towards operating systems, low level hardware and communications (networking, etc). I really have a wide set of experience, all of it in varying degrees of maturity (basic to advanced).

    As far as the midwest goes, I certainly have no problem relocating, my only 'request' would be one of the following--

    1) Relocation assistance

    -or-

    2) Guaranteed work over a 6 month period to help ease the cost of relocating out of pocket

    Having said that, I've had no out of area job offers or interviews (despite having applied for jobs as far away as New York (when I lived in Seattle)), so my relocation ideas haven't been a factor in not finding work yet. =) And having said that, I'd probably be willing to give up that idea altogether, it'd just make the whole 'pack up and move' scenario a lot easier to deal with if I didn't have to run further into the hole (or atleast knew for sure that any debt incurred would atleast be temporary).
