A day laborer stands waiting for employers at the Chowk-E-Kut-E-Sangi traffic circle in western Kabul, Afghanistan Wednesday June 17, 2009. According to a report by the Asian Development Bank, unemployment in Afghanistan is an estimated 40% of the labor force. Day laborers have little other options for work in a country where chronic unemployment is believed to contribute to instability and fuel the Taliban insurgency.
