Unemployed People Find Way To Sneak Into Jobs Like Mine

This is a really interesting article on the surge in volunteerism due to layoffs -- tons of very skilled workers with a lot of time on their hands. But the nonprofits can't handle all the volunteers because they've lost funding. Crazy.

The thing the article doesn't explain though is how these people can afford to not work and not spend all their time looking for work. If you can afford to not work and volunteer all the time, more power to you - so why work at all in the first place?
