Labor and jobs

Debbie Siegelbaum reports for BBC News on how long-term unemployment is impacting Americans. The article cites research by MIT Professor Ofer Sharone, who found that Americans tend to blame themselves for unemployment.

MIT's Jonathan Gruber argues that the Congressional Budget Office's report on the Affordable Care Act is being misrepresented by opponents in a Los Angeles Times op-ed. According to Gruber, the reduction in employment outlined in the report is a function of greater flexibility for workers.
