The Arts as Victims of the Economic Recession

Hosted by

The Los Angeles City Council has agreed to spend $42 million to keep elephants at the LA Zoo. But theater, ballet, opera and art museums are in big trouble in Southern California. Also, last year, 2.5 million Americans lost their jobs. This year the "best case scenario” is 3 million more. On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, what’s the impact of unemployment across the country?  What will it take to get the next job in a restructured economy?
