"Trapped in Unemployment" - CBS 60 Minutes video

The chances of finding a job are grim for the four million long-term unemployed in the U.S., but Joe Carbone is looking to change that in his Connecticut town. Scott Pelley reports.

Those unemployment benefits end after 99 weeks. These folks have been out of work two years, three, even four. They're college educated professionals in their 40's or 50's; people who thought their company would take them all the way to retirement.

They don't look it, but they've fallen out of the middle class. Turned in cars, gone on food stamps, taken kids out of college and faced foreclosure.

"The word carnage is a strong word, but I can't think of a better word in this case. What aggravates me is that there isn't outrage. We ought to be angry. We ought to be giving every moment of our time figuring out how we're going to restore for them the American dream."
