Thousands of Chicago area residents who have been laid off recently are looking for new jobs. Statewide community college enrollment has increased as workers seek new skills. The demand for retraining has prompted one local community college to offer free courses to unemployed residents in its district. For WBEZ, Lisa Matuska has the story.
