Time magazine cover: What’s it trying to do?
More than 200,000 long-term jobless Americans will lose their 
unemployment checks this week, when eight states roll off the federal 
extended benefits program.
Nearly half of them live in California, and the rest reside in Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, Colorado, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Starting later this year, the maximum number of weeks the jobless can collect unemployment benefits will be reduced to as little as 40 weeks in states with jobless rates below 6% and to as many as 73 weeks where unemployment tops 9%.
