Erin Drankoski — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:29:00 -0400

We are a full year removed from the September 15, 2008, bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, which sent the global financial system into a tailspin, and yet just 10 days removed from one of the most dismal unemployment reports in 80 years.

Communications — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:37:00 -0400

This past Friday, the U.S. Department of Labor reported an unemployment rate of 9.4% for May. But while this better-than-expected number raised the hopes slightly of some economists, a new paper from New America Foundation's Economic Growth Program suggests that unemployment is more severe than reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics-and that the economy is in the early stages of a "jobless recovery."
