America's Jobs Crisis, Working through the US jobs crisis | Al Jazeera English

With tens of millions of Americans unemployed, and millions more struggling to survive on a minimum wage, the rapid spread of poverty and insufficient access to welfare have combined to form what some analysts are calling a 'social state of emergency' in the United States. Are there solutions? Fault Lines travels to some of the regions hardest hit by the recession, tracking some creative measures taken by local communities to combat the jobs crisis from the bottom up.

People featured in this film include: Ted Howard, Jane Oats, Jason Chaffetz, Steve Swiggum
