OKLAHOMA CITY – Congress approved legislation last week that extends benefits for unemployed Americans.

The news was a welcome relief to the more than 117,000 Oklahomans who are without jobs.  The measure provides more generous unemployment benefits and health insurance subsidies.

The struggle of finding a job and paying for healthcare is familiar to Ella Alexander and Adam Dani. Last month, the Oklahoma Impact Team spoke with Alexander and Dani about how unemployment was affecting their lives.  

The Impact Team recently caught up with Alexander and Dani. Watch the featured video to see how they are doing in their job search.
