Industry layoffs, what are people doing? - any advice?

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a customer-service rep. It has been a long 23 weeks. I am open to a pay cut if the field is stable. Which areas are hiring?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
