Still no Relief




There's still no relief for the "long-term unemployed" who have lost their benefits, and the number of those without benefits has grown.  About 1/3 of the unemployed are considered "long-term unemployed" (out of work for more than 6 months).  This means close to 4 million people, many trying to support a family.  Add to this the 2.2 million "disengaged unemployed" or\"discouraged unemployed" (people who want a job but have given up on getting one), also without benefits, and you have a bad, bad situation.
