The Long-Term Unemployed and Unemployment Insurance
A new research brief from the Heldrich Center, The Long-Term Unemployed and Unemployment Insurance: Evidence from a Panel Study of Workers Who Lost a Job During the Great Recession, presents the key findings from a panel study of the long-term unemployment workers who reported that they lost a job during the Great Recession. The brief examines differences and similarities among unemployed workers who did and did not receive Unemployment Insurance. It also highlights the experiences of those who exhausted their Unemployment Insurance benefits before they were able to find another job.
