Long-Term Unemployment in America

Thank you, Rich Morin and Rakesh Kochnar, authors of the most recent and always-interesting findings by the Pew Research Center. Their report is titled "Lost Income, Lost Friends -- And Loss of Self-Respect." Note their use of the phrase Great Recession, without quotation marks or other hints of a newly-coined phrase, which is to say it's been here a while (too long) now.

The abridged version is in article form here. The full report is in giant pdf form here. Also enjoy the interactive graphic.
