Generation Jobless talks about youth unemployment in Canada and it will be airing on Doc Zone this evening. I'm looking forward to viewing the documentary, but I'm also going to bear in mind some of the concerns expressed by the Globe and Mail's TV critic, John Doyle.
Currently, this video is only available for viewing in Canada.

The Unemployed Need Not Apply
Catherine Rampell's piece in the NYTs The Help-Wanted Sign Comes With a Frustrating Asterisk exposes how some employers are discriminating against applicants that are unemployed, while pointing out that "the average duration of unemployment today is nine months". However, discrimination on this point is not really discrimination since unemployment is not a "protected ground", though the article does list some states that are prohibiting this practice in job ads.
I really liked The Cynical Girl's response when she pointed out that HR should not participate in this practice and that there is probably a method that the major job boards could use to remove job postings with an "unemployed candidates need not apply" caveat.

Gender and the Recession
Emily Bazelon and Rebecca Traister discuss the effect of the recession on the depiction of gender, [hetero] relationships and the pay gap. This video-dialogue is from early March, but it is still full of good stuff that people are thinking and feeling, and how the recession continues to be depicted in major media.
