Long Term Unemployment at Highest Level Since WWII

Long term unemployment under President Obama is at the highest level since
at least the end of World War II, threatening to create a permanent
underclass of workers who will find it difficult or impossible to obtain
jobs in the future. What’s more, Obama’s insistence on repeatedly
extending long term unemployment benefits may be fueling the unemployment
problem.
According to data recently released by the St. Louis Federal Reserve, the
average duration of unemployment is now at about 40 weeks, double the
previous highest level of about 20 weeks that prevailed during the last
three recessions.
A separate paper released by the Boston Federal Reserve paints a pernicious
picture of the problem: Employers seem to be throwing out the resumes of the
long-term unemployed and only hiring those who have been without a job for
less than six months. Meanwhile, with the guarantee of benefits rolling in,
the long term jobless might not be looking aggressively enough for work, the
paper states.
This suggests those who just had their unemployment benefits renewed for
another year under this month’s fiscal cliff deal may need the benefits
renewed again next year. And since the failure to get jobs is related solely
to the length of unemployment – age, education and worker type do not seem
to be a factor – Obama’s ambitious plans for funding worker training
programs may have little effect.
Since 2008, Congress has voted to extend unemployment benefits ten times at
a cost of more than $500 billion. The latest extension raised federal
spending by $30 billion.
