Unemployed in Ohio Can Win a Free Room at B&B

With the national unemployment rate at 9.8%, there's a bit of good news for people who have been out of work for a year or more in the Midwest -- a free night at a bed and breakfast inn near Cincinnati for 12 couples throughout the year.

The Weller Haus Bed and Breakfast is in Bellevue, Ky., just across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati, is having a monthly drawing for what it calls "Get Me Away From My Life" getaway packages for a two-night stay. An inn in Vermont continued a similar contest for the unemployed this year.
