Give the Unemployed a Second Chance

Rachel Black and Aleta Sprague wrote an article for CNN on finding work after long periods of unemployment:

Workers may invest years in their education and acquiring the skills that make them successful at their jobs -- only to be rejected because of factors beyond their control. Not only can this create a scarring effect that can permanently diminish their earning potential, it also results in a tremendous loss of human capital at a time when the economy is still struggling to recover.
