Cartoons about the Nation’s Jobless

The big news today is May’s rotten jobs report, which shows a paltry 69,000 new jobs added and an unemployment rate that has inched up to 8.2 percent. Even more scary is corporate America continues to be able to make more money with about the same labor force, causing stock prices to soar but doing little for the growing number of unemployed workers looking for a job.

Here are six hard-hitting cartoons about the extended unemployment problem the U.S. faces. Anyone have a solution?
