  • The January jobs report shows high rates of long-term unemployment, which is a period of joblessness lasting at least six months.
  • This is a financially risky period in which household income may drop, finding a job is harder and future earnings potential typically suffers, according to economists.
  • Almost 40% of jobless workers are long-term unemployed, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday, nearing the record 46% set following the Great Recession.
