It really depends on what your definition of broke is. There are plenty of people who say they are broke when they really do have some assets. Others say they are broke when they are deep in debt. Finally, there are some who say they are broke when they literally have no place to sleep at night.
In the United States, you are first going to want to get any emergency services that may be available to you. What this means is that you are going to want to find a homeless shelter or something like this just to have a place to sleep for the night. This is only good advice if you are literally broke. Some people say they are broke when they are in deep debt. The definition of broke is very important in this case.
Assuming that you have just been laid off and need to have some income coming in the door, then you are going to want to make sure that you do all that you possibly can to try to find a new job. This is sometimes easier said than done. It is very important that you do all that you can to use internet resources whenever possible to get a job. Also, you might want to consider using public resources that are available to you in order to get the job that you so desire.
Finally, consider taking out a loan in order to make sure that you are able to make ends meet. Try to get good terms on this loan, and do whatever you can to pay back this loan as soon as you get a job again.
