But everyone isn’t faring well in the nation’s capital; in some neighborhoods, unemployment has reached Depression-era levels. DCentric is spending this week exploring unemployment disparities in D.C. I recently sat down with PBS NewsHour’s Hari Sreenivasan to discuss what’s causing such high unemployment and possible solutions to the problem.
