Long-Term Unemployment: Who Gives The Jobless A Helping Hand?

Who Gives The Long-Term Jobless A Helping Hand?

More than 40 percent of the long-term unemployed say they've received a lot of help from family and friends. But only 1 in 10 reports getting much help from churches or community groups, according to an NPR/Kaiser Family Foundation poll.

While family may be the first stop for help, these groups say they're indeed seeing large numbers of people who have been out of work a long time.
