This is the kind of in-depth national snapshot that makes you see the whole rest of your weekday as if through new eyes.

This is an extremely well written and very informative article about unemployment and it’s affects on the family and the neighborhood. This story should be read by all members of Congress. Perhaps if all members read this article they would come to a conclusion to work together. If they can not work together, this set of problems will grow larger and harder to resolve.

A bleak assessment of the country's economic future, focused on particular demographics (men, minorities, youth). well-researched and sourced.

An excellent and broad look at the sociology of unemployment in the United States. As such, it puts little emphasis on the causes for the job losses. This is worth reading.

Very well-detailed; I love the anecdotes!

Not many sources are cited. The author gives a number of scenarios but does not back it up. It is the usual doom and gloom.

It is talking about what no one wants to talk about which is that the unemployment rate in this country will always be above 10% now. Always..think about that..what it is going to do to us..not good.
