For the 14.8 million unemployed Americans, help is on the way in the format Americans can understand best: reality TV. Like a sassier Mary Poppins or the "Supernanny" who tells American parents how to get their kids to behave, the new show "The Fairy Jobmother" is another British import where a woman comes sweeping in to save us from ourselves.

Hayley Taylor offers job search help in this show on LIfetime Television, although it's help they may want to avoid if they don't like being told that being out of work is their problem and not the result of the worst economy since the Great Depression.
