we've collected, this post needs some coentxt. Since 2008, the United States (and most of the rest of the world) has been going through the Great Recession. Unemployment has been high throughout the country, with job searches taking much longer than when the economy is good. Those who've been unemployed the longest are having an even harder time finding jobs.The legals section of the Morrison County Record has contained pages and pages of foreclosures for years now. Both of the boat works in Little Falls were closed for a time, which resulted in the layoffs of hundreds, perhaps up to 1,000, workers. Larson Boats reopened, but Crestliner closed permanently. Government on all levels, national, state, county, and city, have all felt the economic pinch. Local Government Aid (LGA) to counties and cities has been cut several years running, with the State Legislature actively attempting to cut it completely.Greg's essay echoes the refrain of many, many unemployed people and is a solid marker of the larger history of the current era. If you're reading this in 2050 and need to write a research paper, this economic downturn would make a great topic.-Mary Warner
