How the Long-Term Unemployed Are Doing

Brookings Paper explores the plight of America's long-term unemployed. Only 11 percent of those who were long-term unemployed in a given month returned to steady, full-time employment a year later. Long-term unemployment has remained a persistent problem post-Great Recession. The paper is authored by Alan B. Krueger, Judd Cramer, and David Cho of Princeton University.
