The National Employment Law Project (NELP), which conducted a national and state-by-state estimate of workers who will have no funds to keep them afloat until they can find a job if Congress does not enact an extension of unemployment insurance benefits included in the ARRA that expires at the end of February, showed that 1.2 million American workers will be left stranded by March, and that about 5 million Americans will experience the same fate by June.
