Although the national unemployment rate actually dropped slightly in April to five percent, in northern illinois it's 5.5. percent. Almost every day we hear about lay-offs affecting some other company or business. In this report (aired 5/15/08), some of Chicago's newly jobless show us how they stay strong.

Below are more than ten minutes of raw and unaired footage from my interviews about job hunting with Julie Bartimus, Vice President of the UIC Alumni Career Center, and Bill Potter, Vice President of betterresumes.com and Harvard Oak Enterprises,Inc.

(Sign of the Times)

Most would agree the Housing Crisis and the War in Iraq is consuming our Economy. President Bush has decided to mail us $600.00 Tax Checks, however, if His Administration had been more Financially Sound we would not be in this situation.

Then theres Globalisation and the thrust of Rich Compaines to pay for cheap labor. 700,000 Men are Unemployed in America, that is the saddest thing I've heard in a long time.

What has happened to the "American Dream"?
