Looking at the financial crisis beginning in the US, roughly 13 million people were unemployed in 2009. Of these, 2.6 million were unemployed for less than 5 weeks, 3.5 million were unemployed for 5 to 14 weeks, 2.9 million were unemployed for 15 to 26 weeks, and 4 million were unemployed for 27 or more weeks. Assume that the average spell of unemployment is 2.5 weeks for anyone unemployed for less than 5 weeks. Similarly, assume the average spell is 10 weeks, 20 weeks, and 35 weeks for the remaining categories
