Unemployment rate personalized: One family’s story

The unemployment rate is well above 10%, and it looks like some extended unemployment benefits could soon come to an end.  We talk with one family hit hard by unemployment.

Channing Emanuel and his wife are now living in a car.  This began about 2 months ago.  They’re not used to being homeless, but without work, they can’t find a place to stay.

Next week, state lawmakers will head to Columbia for a special session to deal with unemployment benefits.
