Long-term unemployment is surging in the U.S. There are hidden costs for workers and the economy

CNBC analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data finds average monthly long-term unemployment above 1.8 million in 2026, up about 45% from 2019 and 55% from 2023. The article examines financial, emotional and family effects that can continue after people return to work.

Why I recommend it: Long-term unemployment means joblessness lasting at least 27 weeks. The figures are CNBC's analysis of BLS data published June 4, 2026.

Analyzes logged job searches, application channels, resumes and AI-related hiring trends using Huntr activity and a survey of 329 job seekers. Includes methods and limitations, emphasizing that self-selected, self-reported data describes Huntr users rather than the entire labor market.

Why I recommend it: Uses Huntr user activity and a self-selected survey of 329 job seekers; results are not representative of all job seekers.

Teshawn Black argues that job seekers should not self-reject over job descriptions written for an ideal candidate. The piece walks through how to figure out what you already have, which of your skills actually transfer to a role, and what you genuinely still need to learn before applying.
