June 3, 2009

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. As the recession deepens, more middle class families are being driven to seek assistance. The situation is expected to worsen as the California state budget cuts begin to take effect. Larry Mantle hears from guests and listeners about how prolonged unemployment is affecting Californians.
