A 22 year old Elyria man donates his $251.39 Kasper Foundry Co paycheck to The Chronicle-Telegram Not-Forgotten Box to buy toys for needy children while hoping to brighten his relatives’ Christmas as unemployment rises in Lorain County.

New Poor Class Emerges From Prolonged Unemployment in Lorain County
Lorain County's poor, once mainly black, Hispanic or elderly, now include a growing group shaped by continuing unemployment at 14 percent. Officials note statistics are outdated and the 1980 census may not reflect shifts, with welfare caseloads rising and agencies handling only 75 to 80 percent of applicants. Estimates from agencies suggest 30,000 to 34,000 area residents may be poor.
