How are the unemployed spending their time?

A recent survey by CareerBuilder.com, the largest job search site in the country, found that the recently unemployed are spending their time in a variety of ways---mostly productive.

1 in 7 Exercise more

1 in 5 Cutting back on expenses

The average time it takes to find a new job now is 25.1 weeks. What you do during this half year can determine your future.

Most unemployed are woefully unprepared to look for a job in the new world of job-hunting.
