'A Chart That Screams, "Extend Unemployment Benefits!" '

You'll have to excuse me for simply stealing Daniel Indiviglio's headline for this chart, but it's really the right way to introduce it:

"That giant gap consists of Americans who are unemployed, and couldn't get a job even if they wanted to," Indiviglio writes. "This emphasizes the need for Congress to extend unemployment benefits. It's pretty clear that millions of Americans remain unemployed because the jobs aren't there -- not because they aren't trying hard enough to find them. In fact, it's not even close."
