In April, the number of unemployed persons was 15.3 million.

45.9 percent of unemployed persons had been jobless for 27 weeks or more.

If this is what an economic recovery looks like then I need to get some new glasses!

and this number is vastly underestimated due to reporting parameters... you aren't unemployed if you don't apply for benefits, your benefits expire, or you have one lousy job (or part-time work) that pays measly take home compared to what you were used to

Hoard now and hold on!

15.3 million + 1 more. Hope I'm not unemployed that long. Unemployment insurance turned me down.

Guess I'll have to sort pennies full time.

WD, good luck there. I know its tough out there.

Just wait till all the census takers are turned free. Just wish someone in DC had a clue on how jobs are really created.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I worked forty plus hours a week so I guess I will job hunt for forty plus hours. Until I find a job I guess I'll make a living the old fashioned way "Wheelin and Dealing".
