Tales from the Unemployment Line: Barriers Facing the Long-term Unemployed

Job clubs received front-and-center attention on Capitol Hill Thursday December 8, 2011 at a hearing of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.

The Rev. Marvin A. Moss from Cascade United Methodist Church in Atlanta testified on barriers facing the long-term unemployed and how his church’s job club, Cascade Career Network, is helping unemployed workers address the many challenges they face. Cascade Career Network, a participant in the department’s Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships’ Job Clubs Initiative, hosted Secretary Solis and CFBNP representatives at a job clubs symposium earlier this year.

Cascade United Methodist Church is a member of Crossroads Career Network in Atlanta, Georgia.
