Over 50 and Out of Work has been invited to testify before the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.

The committee hearing “Stories from the Kitchen Table:  How Middle Class Families Are Struggling to Make Ends Meet”

will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 23, 2011.

The hearing will be webcast live from the committee’s website.

We are delighted that we will be able to show a short video testimony that contains clips from many of our interviews, speak briefly about the issues surrounding unemployment among older middle class Americans that our multimedia documentary project has revealed and submit a longer, written testimony to the committee members that will expand on our oral testimony.
