TIL: male employment in the US

[timelets]

In an economy booming by the traditional measures of surging stock values and rock-bottom unemployment, a key indicator continues to flash red: 18% of men aged 25 to 54 don’t have full-time work. That’s a vast improvement over the 25% who were idle or working only part-time in 2010. But by pre-Great Recession standards, the present resembles the bottom of a downturn, underperforming the worst points in either the 1990-91 or 2001 recessions.

продляют не всем.
человек должен чуть ли не ежедневно апплицироваться на работу и посещать биржу, и если было 3 приличныхв арианта (как бы приличных) а человек не пошел туда, то все.
и потом, вы слишком преувеличили про 2 года. "ап ту"- это вовсе не значит что безработные получают такие бенефиты.

The Act extended benefits for up to 99 weeks.
Not everyone qualified for the full extension.
The benefits were arranged according to four tiers. The first tier gave 20 weeks of benefits. Tier 2 allowed another 14 weeks. Tier 3 applied to states where the unemployment rate was 6% or higher. The unemployed there received another 13 weeks. States where the unemployment rate was 8.5% or higher received Tier 4 benefits of 6 additional weeks.
