I do some convention work. Most labor is hired specifically for the event itself. We won't be "laid off". We'll never be offered work in the first place.

Side note: apparently this makes getting unemployment benefits a little trickier (but not impossible), since I don't have "an employer" and I wasn't let go from a job. I have "those 4 or 5 companies that do all the conventions and who hired me in the past but aren't hiring anyone this year".
