Abstract | This document contains transcripts of witness testimony and prepared statements from the Congressional hearing called to examine the long-term effects of unemployment on families. Witnesses include an unemployed man who now volunteers for a group of low-income advocates for the poor; a former unemployed auto worker who now has a job assisting laid-off employees; a school counselor who works with children of unemployed parents, and two of her fifth grade clients. Also testifying are the director of the Child Care Coordinating and Referral Service, who discusses the impact of available child care on employment; two representatives from a public consortium of 16 communities created to help solve economic and social problems and currently involved in employment training; and two ministers from area churches which have developed counseling programs, drug and alcohol abuse programs, community workshops, and job placement services. The final panel of witnesses consists of the executive director of Michigan's Office of Children and Youth Services, the administrator of a mental health outpatient service for children and adolescents, and a sociology researcher from Wayne State University. The testimony focuses on a variety of problems that families experience because of unemployment, the effects of unemployment on the children, coping strategies and services available to the unemployed, and ways of helping people cope with unemployment.
