year in review: 2009: The Unemployed

Almost lost in the maze of job seekers, Sheri Bird, top right, of Overland Park, Kan., waited in line to enter Wednesday's National Career Fair at the Holiday Inn at 8787 Reeder Park in Overland Park. Bird, who recently returned to the United States after spending ten years in Kenya working at the U.S. International University, was looking for work based on her master's degree in international relations. Bird said her family lives in Kansas City and she would like to find work here.
