99 Weeks of Unemployment

I actually saw this last night when I flipped channels to "60 Minutes" -- a show I never watch.  Still, the Cine-Sib texted me to go because the show was doing a segment on "Top Gear" (our favorite source of televised vehicular British mayhem), so I went over to CBS.  Aside from the "Top Gear" piece,  "60 Minutes" ran this report on unemployment and  the wretched state of things.  The actual national unemployment rate is close to 17%.  Yikes!
