Such Is Life: David Guilbault
Series Examines One Man's Struggle with Joblessness

David Guilbault

Millions of Americans are looking for work, but can't find a job. It's one thing to know that -- but it's quite another to live it. Day to Day presents Such Is Life, a series that examines how one man deals with setbacks and keeps on moving.

Former network television producer David Guilbault once pulled down a six-figure salary and lived in a luxury high-rise apartment with a commanding view of Seattle. Now he lives at the Aloha Inn, a run-down motel converted into transitional housing for the homeless.
