It says that the new unemployment claims are slowing down. Good sign for the economy. It also got me thinking. There are almost 7 million people un-employed. If you could get them to do 1 hour of something productive a week, that would be around 350 Million man-hours.

If the 200 million or so employed people in the US would do one hour of volunteer work a week, that would be 10 billion person-hours in a year. Focusing on the unemployed is missing the point. Nearly every working person could afford an hour a week if they would make the effort.
