PBS’ NewsHour had a great recent segment on the debate on whether the nation’s stubborn high unemployment is a structural or cyclical issue. We’ve included the video below, and we’ve also touched on the issue previously on the blog with our detailed look at skill shortages, a post on how the debate affects the WIA discussion, and this look at the revision in job opening numbers by the BLS.
Also see PBS’ blog post that includes a shorter video highlighting the two economists — Mike Konczal and Zachary Karabell — featured in the full-length piece.
