Parents Aren't Only Ones Who Feel Stress of Unemployment

Joblessness also affects children's health and well-being, experts say

THURSDAY, March 25 (HealthDay News) -- With nearly 10 percent of the nation's workforce unemployed, the emotional impact of a job loss is well-known to millions of Americans. But the psychological fallout can be equally tough for their children.
