Heidi Shierholz,
an economist at the liberal Economic Policy Institute. The Labor Department
says there are still more than three unemployed people for every job
opening.Cynthia Marriott gave up her job search after an interview in October
for a position as a hotel concierge."They never said no," she says.
"They just never called me back."Her husband hasn't worked full time since
2006. She cashed out her 401(k) after being laid off from a
job at a Los Angeles entertainment publicity firm in 2009. The couple
owes thousands in taxes for that withdrawal. They have no health insurance.She
got the maximum 99 weeks' of unemployment benefits then allowed in California
and then moved to Atlanta.Now she is looking to receive federal disability
benefits for a lung condition that she said leaves her weak and
unable to work a full day. The application is pending a medical
review."I feel like I have no choice," says Marriott, 47. "It's just
really sad and frightening"During the peak of her job search, Marriott was
filling out 10 applications a day. She applied for jobs she felt
overqualified for, such as those at Home Depot and Petco but never
heard back. Eventually, the disappointment and fatigue got to her."I just

for a job."Young people are leaving the job market, too. The participation
rate for Americans ages 20 to 24 hit a 41-year low 69.6

would ultimately allow up to 200,000 workers a year into the U.S.
to fill jobs in construction, hospitality, nursing homes and other areas
where employers now say they have a difficult time hiring Americans or
legally bringing in foreign workers. Even after the deal was struck, some
industries, such as construction, continued to voice complaints about the
terms.Without offering details, Graham said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that
negotiators were revisiting the low-skilled worker deal. But he issued a
statement a short time later saying he was confident the agreement would
hold.Graham sounded optimistic overall, predicting the bill would pass the
100-member Senate with 70 votes in favor. Senators believe an overwhelming
bipartisan vote is needed in the Democratic-led Senate to ensure a chance
of success in the Republican-controlled House. Floor action could start
in the Senate in May, Schumer said.Meanwhile two lawmakers involved in writing
a bipartisan immigration bill in the House, Reps. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill.,
and Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., sounded optimistic that they, too, would
have a deal soon that could be reconciled with the Senate agreement."I
am very, very optimistic that the House of Representatives is going to
have a plan that is going to be able to go to
a conference with the Senate in which we're going to be able
to resolve this," Gutierrez said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union".
