This is one interesting piece of news you will seldom come across. I first came across this news over the holidays and later checked it out to know more. There have been reported cases of hiring at a call center to serve the unemployed.

Yes, you heard it right. The recession has been taking away jobs from all sectors which saw the rate of unemployment rate soar in comparison to the recent years. There have been a flood of calls to a call center catering to unemployment claims and benefits. The rate of calls at this call center has nearly multiplied ten times in the past months forcing them to hire additional call center agents to serve the purpose. This is not a unique case as more cases of joblessness are emerging every second in this global economic slowdown. This curious case of opportunity among despair is a perfect example of the booming call center industry.
