There's little the Fed can do to target long-term unemployment in particular, Bernanke said. Part of the Fed's mandate is to promote maximum employment. But two months
from the end of the second asset-purchase program, the unemployment rate is high, at 8.8 percent. The number of long-term unemployed, people who have been out of work for at least six months, is now higher than it's ever been since World War Two, Bernanke said. But there's only so much the Fed can do, the chairman said.


"We dont have any tools for targeting long-term unemployment specifically.
We can just try to make the labor market work better broadly speaking,"
he said.
"It becomes really out of the scope of monetary policy.
At that point, job training, education and other types of interventions
would probably be more effective." —William Alden

other types of interventions
Pass the buck much Mr. William Alden??
I'd say HR589 counts as 'another type of intervention'. Long-term Unemployment: 'Out Of The Scope' Per Bernanke 583654

We should quote that guy William Alden in our calls & emails for HR589.
