unemployed will hit 30 percent by next year
We're nearly at one out of four laid-off workers has already been out of work for six months.
That's Andrew Stettner at the National Employment Law Project. He and his research partners at UC-Berkeley predict the share of long-term unemployed will hit 30 percent by next year. A quarter of that group is African American. And here are some trends among the long-term jobless: They increasingly include college graduates. Women are just as likely as men to be out of work for a long time. And workers over 45 account for well over a third of the long-term unemployed.
