A year-long extension
of unemployment insurance for the long-term jobless was included in the final
agreement on tax and spending issues by Congress. This will preserve benefits for more than 2.1 million people. The $30 billion
extension, which was not offset by other spending cuts was part of the deal worked out by Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell (R-Ky.) and Vice President Biden.
