Cannot get to a working link, it's a special report in the nation section called The New Deal. Just click on nation on the left toolbar and the series is in it's own box on the right side of the page.

I found it in "Spotlight". I then copy & pasted the URL in the upper window. Here's something else of interest I found there: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-officer18sep18,1,7119594.story?coll=la-headlines-nation

5. Most 'middle class' people, especially college grads under 40, ...

... have absolutely no comprehension how quickly they could be destitute. "That wouldn't happen to me. I wouldn't make that mistake." Yeah. Right. Well, that's what the Ryans thought. It's incredible how fast a net worth of $400,000 can go to nothing! It's absolutely fascinating how quickly one can be treated as a leper by hiring managers - and a person becomes "unemployable" with nothing they can say or do about it.
