And the long-term unemployment rate — the share of the unemployed population out of work for more than six months — also continues to set records. It is now 35.6 percent . I'd like to see backup for this number. Our local paper has a pretty good sized help wanted section.

The continuing slow death of the last dregs of our manufacturing sector guarantee all future "recoveries" will be jobless as well.
