As one "of the nation's unemployed" (for the first time in my 40 year working life), I'm thinking of turning to a life of crime.
Yup, I may have to work for the gummint...

One thing that makes me think the recovery may be longer in coming or nonexistant for that matter, is the number of people who have been long term unemployed for the first time in their lives.
I work very hard and am very good at what I do, there is simply no opportunity to do it. I am a country boy and I will get by just fine under any circumstances, but nobody is going to prosper for long if too many are just getting by.

Yup, I may have to work for the gummint...After 40 years in the private sector, you may be too old for a gummint job.
Only place I know the gummint accepts people THAT old is the Senate,
but it helps if you have a relative already there.
