BBJ: Laid off? Make the most of your time

(NECN) - Many laid off workers are staying positive and making the most of their time away from work, according to a new survey.

A Career Builder survey of about 1,800 people found that laid off workers are spending their time attempting to grow personally and professionally.

Twenty-three percent of those surveyed said that they spent more time with friends and family, while looking for a job.

Others worked on home improvement, volunteering more or starting their own businesses.

Lisa van der Pool of the Boston Business Journal has the details in the video play above.
