Down and Out

John Schmitt and Janelle Jones

Challenge, 2012, vol. 55, issue 3, 5-20

Abstract: The authors argue persuasively that long-term unemployment is poorly measured. A more realistic look at who cannot find jobs for long periods of time suggests that the government seriously underestimates the long-term rate of unemployment. It is more likely twice the rate that is reported.
