While the White House and Congress continue to wrangle over jobs legislation, we're gonna check back in with a group of people we've been following this year in St. Louis. They started the year without jobs, searching for work. NPR's Tamara Keith reports now on how their own situations are affecting their views of politics. Being unemployed for more than two years changed the way Ray Meyer looks at politics. He's always leaned Republican and used to have little sympathy for those who were receiving unemployment benefits. I used to think, you know, all these people that were unemployed, a lot of them could find jobs if they just wanted to. I don't know that that's the truth anymore. I don't believe it. But it's definitely changed my opinion. Now, Meyer says he's more sympathetic to those in need and more cynical about what's happening in Washington. Okay, recorder's on. Doing a daily log for the recording. Meyer and all of the people we're following this year are recording themselves and doing regular updates. The temporary job assignment that I'm on now looks like it's going to be ending just before Thanksgiving. And I'm not for sure what I'll have after that.
