“Living United” Show Takes on Unemployment

Unemployment has been a hot topic lately, with recent changes out of Raleigh creating significant consequences for those unable to find a job. Goodwill President and CEO Michael Elder discusses how United Way funding helps his agency put the unemployed back to work during a segment on the WTVI show Living United, which aired July 28.

 

The jobs crisis is crippling millions of Americans. North Carolina has the fifth highest unemployment rate in the nation. By providing job training and employment skills, Goodwill empowers people to earn a living, improve their lives and strengthen their families and communities – the same community in which you live.

 

Living United, a monthly roundtable conversation on WTVI (PBS Charlotte), focuses on how our community can “Be The Change” for those most in need. The 30-minute show is hosted by Anne McNeill, a United Way volunteer and manager of corporate citizenship and corporate affairs for IBM.
