New-home permits issued in April were down about a third from a year earlier, according to Keystone Report, a construction data firm.

My name is Tonya, I am a 39-year-old single mother of three daughters and I am unemployed.
My life in the unemployment line began in October 2009, just over a year ago. I was a hotel manager at a local resort for two years when the economic recession hit. Our resort took the hit quite hard and I was one of a few managers who ended up being laid off permanently, in order to make way for newer employees who would be paid only a third of my salary.
