| Long-term unemployment has risen since the start of the crisis in the OECD area, with more than one in three of the unemployed having been out of work for 12 months or more at the end of 2011. The share of long-term unemployed remains highest in EU countries, at around 44% on average. But also in the United States, the share of the unemployed who have been out of work for 12 months or more has soared, from 10% pre-crisis to around 30%. Even more worrying, the number of people out of work for two years or more in the OECD area has grown by 2.6 million since 2007 to reach 7.8 million in 2011. |
