Several of my friends who have been unemployed for a Year or longer have created businesses of their own. One is deconstructing blighted houses in Youngstown, Ohio and there are over 6,000 homes that have been abandoned and "unlivable" according to city records. He's able to hire a team of 6 to 8 workers per house and hopes to increase that number by next year. Finding cash and grant money to pay for the workers has been a major hurtle. He hopes resale of wood, brick etc. from these older houses will create some revenue to keep his company "alive".
