Abstract:

During a recent political standoff over extending federal unemployment, those suffering most from the recession shared their personal stories of financial struggles. Citizens hoped their narratives would enlighten lawmakers and politicians who, by popular opinion, seem disconnected from real-life struggles. The outcome was Governor Bev Perdue signing an executive order in favor of unemployment benefit extension.
