Nearly a quarter of unemployed Californians have been without a job for six months or more. Additionally, food banks across the Southland are seeing a dramatic increase in demand along with a new set of clients.

Larry Mantle hears from guests and listeners about how prolonged unemployment is affecting Californians.
