America is facing a number of growing issues as this century grows older. Some of these issues include the global financial crisis that has bankrupted many Americans while many more have lost employment. In May of 2011, unemployment was running at 9.1% according to Government reports. These reports indicate that between 1948 through to 2010, the general unemployment rate hung at around 5.7 per cent.

While a jump of 3.4 per cent in unemployment does not mean much on its own, when taken as a number in job seeker terms is a massive jump and demonstrates the number of American families in crisis. The US Census Bureau cites that the country’s population was just under 312 million people according to the 2010 census. 3.4 per cent equates to 10,608,000 more people than usual out of work in America.
