This week on War News Radio, the next of our series focusing in on some of the big unresolved questions about the war in Iraq. We consider Iraq's unemployment crisis.

Then, we hear form the owner of one garment factory that closed.
And, we find out about the difficulties Iraq has faced as it transitions from a state-controlled economy to a more privatized one.
Joblessness is taking a unique toll on women in Iraq. We hear about how the unemployment situation is changing the work environment for women.
And finally, we investigate the link between Iraq's security problems and unemployment.
