'I don't know what we're going to do. We could end up homeless because of this.'

'Richard Mattos, 59, of Salem, Ore.,

who has been out of work since March,

when he was laid off as a case manager

at a social services organization. Without

the unemployment income, Mattos said

he and his wife will have enough money

for one month's worth of bills. Almost

every day, he visits employment centers

run by the state of Oregon or Goodwill

Industries.
