Forty years ago young men and women could go to work on assembly lines (General Electric in Shreveport had 8500 employed." Twenty years ago jobs were available in construction, retailing and office work. Today, long-term unemployment is the highest since World War II, with the average time between jobs being 40 weeks, twice the 20 weeks during the previous three recessio
