Members of the National Jobs For All Coalition, the National Organization of Women and their supporters protest in front of New York Senator Charles Schumer's office in New York on Friday, March 4, 2011 to call for the creation of jobs by the government and the extension of unemployment benefits. The Dept. of Labor announced that unemployment benefits had dropped last week to percent from 9 percent, an amount considered statistically insignificant but nonetheless reaching a two-year low. The unemployment rate so far has been falling for three months. (© Richard B. Levine)
