WASHINGTON – Despite predictions the Great Recession
is running out of steam, the House is taking up
emergency legislation this week to help the millions
of Americans who see no immediate end to their economic
miseries.
A bill offered is expected to pass easily would
provide 13 weeks of extended unemployment benefits
for more than 300,000 jobless people who live in
states with unemployment rates of at least 8.5 percent
and who are scheduled to run out of benefits by the
end of September.
The 13-week extension would supplement the
26 weeks of benefits most states offer
People from North Carolina to California
"have been calling my office to tell me they
still cannot find work a year or more after
becoming unemployed, and they need some additional
help to keep their heads above water," McDermott said.
Some 5 million people, about one-third of those
on the unemployment list,have been without a job
for six months or more, a record since data started
being recorded in 1948, according to the research
and advocacy group National Employment Law Project.
The current state unemployment check is about $300 a week,
supplemented by $25 included in the stimulus act.
That doesn't go very far when a loaf of bread can
cost $2.79 and a gallon of milk $2.72,
"We need to keep our unemployed neighbors from
falling into poverty. We need to figure out how
best to make our safety net work," Baucus said.
