The New Poor - Despite Signs of Recovery, Long-Term Unemployment Rises:
Warm, outgoing and prone to the positive, Ms. Eisen has worked much of her life. Now, she is one of 6.3 million Americans who have been unemployed for six months or longer, the largest number since the government began keeping track in 1948. That is more than double the toll in the next-worst period, in the early 1980s.
Does a jobless recovery deserve to be called a recovery?
NPR’s Guy Raz interviewed William Fitzsimmons a week after I got married… William Fitzsimmons: A Songwriter With Vision:
RAZ: You were a counselor and you dealt with all kinds of grief, people who were dealing with it. I mean, you are writing about a divorce, and you’re essentially revisiting it over and over and over again, as you tour through the country.
Do you think as a counselor, you would give somebody this kind of advice, in a sense, to sort of revisit what they’ve been through?
Mr. FITZSIMMONS: No, I don’t think I would.
