more than 170,000 unemployed north carolinians are considered long-term unemployed and have been searching for work for more than 26 weeks. last year, north carolina gnchor pat mccory dealt a devastating blow to the long-term unemployed by reducing state unemployment benefits which caused the federal emergency unemployment compensation program to dissolve in our state. the governor made this decision knowing its harmful impacts making north carolina the only state in the country to end emergency jobless benefits for its citizens. that decision forfeited $780 million in urgently needed federal benefits for long-term unemployed north carolinians and cost our state $1.5 billion in economic activity. we must stand up against those like the governor who seek to disenfranchise the less fortunate by continuing president johnson's work by extending emergency unemployment insurance and other critical programs that help families through difficult times. we cannot afford to turn a blind you to those who are most in need. we are not that type of country. again, ms. lee, thank you for your passion, tha
