Unemployment Less Forgiving As Fewer Receive Benefits
The share of jobless Americans receiving unemployment insurance is declining as Congress winds down long-term benefits.
While the unemployed population has fallen by less than 10 percent in
the past year, the insurance rolls are down by nearly 25 percent. The
latest numbers show 12.7 million unemployed and 5.6 million getting
benefits, compared with 13.9 million jobless and 7.3 million receiving
aid at the same time last year.
