Most are prime age blue-collar workers, with disproportionate numbers of blacks and the elderly among the unemployed as the economy shows only gradual improvement.
Labor Department data show 287,000 workers had exhausted unemployment benefits by last June amid the Arab oil embargo wave. Officials project 2,470,000 Americans will exhaust benefits in 1976.
