The number of people in this situation grew at the fastest rate (on a year-over-year basis) since February 2003. Although the percentage of long-term unemployed has been much higher and much more serious in the past, the growth rate was sharp enough to attract attention. It’s a reminder that as important as the national unemployment rate is,…
