What Will Long-Term Unemployment Look Like?

How will long-term unemployment shape our society in the coming decades? On the next Your Call, we continue our Agenda for a New Economy series by discussing long-term unemployment. Economists say the era of high joblessness is just beginning and might get worse. What can we learn about the impact of long-term joblessness from previous recessions, or from communities where high unemployment is chronic?

Join us live at 11 a.m. or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. If you've experienced long-term unemployment, how has it changed the course of your life? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Don Peck, managing editor of the Atlantic Monthly magazine

Ethel Long Scott, executive director of the Women's Economic Agenda Project
