In the NYT today, article ends with this cheery note - :http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/05/us/politics/05benefits.html?ref=us
"...The nation’s unemployment compensation system is a patchwork of state programs; federal benefits are available when state aid runs out, typically after 26 weeks. Reflecting the severity of the recession, the number of workers who have been out of a job longer than that comprise about a third of the total unemployed — the highest share since data collection began in 1948, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal policy group."
